Answer:

6(y + 4) = -3(2y - 2) + 8y

6y + 24 = -6y + 6 + 8y

6y + 24 = 2y + 6

Subtract -2y on both sides

4y + 24 = 6

Subtract -24 on both sides

4y = -18

y = - 4.5

Answer:

-9/2 or -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Distribution; 6y+24 = -6y+6+8y
  2. Combine like terms; 6y+24 = 2y+6
  3. Put y on one side; 6y-2y = -24+6
  4. Simplify; 4y = -18
  5. 4y/4 = -18/4
  6. y= -9/2 or -4.5
