Question

- 4(y-2) = 12

What’s the value of x?

Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no x, so I’ll find y

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(y-2)=12

Multiply -4 with y and -2

-4y+8=12

Then subtract 8 with its self and 12

-4y = 4

now divide both numbers with 4

y= -1

Answer 2

Step 1. Multiply -4 by y.... you get -4y
Step 2. Multiply -4 by -2.... you get 8
Step 3. Equation will be -4y+8=12
Step 4. Subtract 8 from 8 and 12
Step 5. Equation will be -4y=4
Step 6. Divide 4 by both sides
Step 7. Answer is y=-1
