Question 200912
Solving  ALGEBRA  problems,,,  use  order  of  operations  in  reverse,,,PEMDAS opposite
.
[ 6-2/3y] -4 =8,,,,,,,,add  4  both  sides
[ 6-2/3y] = 12,,,,,,,,,,subtract  6  both  sides
-2/3y = 6,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,divide  by  - 2  and  mult  by 3,,both  sides
y = - 6 (3/2),,,,,,,,,,,,,simplify
y= -9
.
check
[ 6-2/3(-9)] -4=8
[6+6] -4 = 8
12-4=8
8=8,,,,,ok
