Question 9391: Could you please help me with this? It's been a long time. Thanks!
2(x-y)=8 where x=6
Answer by DWL(56) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
just substitute and factor

We put in the 6 for the x value
The formula then becomes

Now do the equation, multiply each factor on the left side by 2:

Now subtract 12 from borth sides:

divide out the -2 from both side of the equation: Remember a negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number.

Answer y = 2
