7y%2B4%28y-8%29=4%28y%2B2%29-2 Start with the given equation.


7y%2B4y-32=4y%2B8-2 Distribute.


11y-32=4y%2B8-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


11y-32=4y%2B6 Combine like terms on the right side.


11y=4y%2B6%2B32 Add 32 to both sides.


11y-4y=6%2B32 Subtract 4y from both sides.


7y=6%2B32 Combine like terms on the left side.


7y=38 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2838%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate y.

Answer:

So the solution is y=38%2F7
