You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
