Answer
y=2
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
4y + -6(2 + -1y) = 8
4y + (2 * -6 + -1y * -6) = 8
4y + (-12 + 6y) = 8
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4y + 6y = 8
Combine like terms: 4y + 6y = 10y
-12 + 10y = 8
Solving
-12 + 10y = 8
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 10y = 8 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 10y = 8 + 12
10y = 8 + 12
Combine like terms: 8 + 12 = 20
10y = 20
Divide each side by '10'.
y = 2
Simplifying
y = 2
