Question 664057: my problem is 32 divided by y is equal to the product of 3 and y minus 4
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
32/y = 3y-4
Multiply both sides by y
32 = 3y^2 - 4y
As a quadratic
3y^2 - 4y - 32 = 0
(3y+8)(y-4) mixed signs due to - 4 and - 32.
Check with FOIL
3y^2 - 12y + 8y - 32 = 0
3y^2 - 4y - 32: confirmed
