Question 427303: Please tell me the problem with this equation.
4y - (4+y) + 24=6y + 20 + 4y
4y - 4y + 24 = 6y - 4y + 20
24 = 2y + 20
4 = 2y
y = 2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

4y - (4+y) + 24 = 6y + 20 + 4y
=> 4y - 4 -y +24 = 6y + 20 + 4y
=> 3y + 20 = 10y + 20
=> 3y = 10y
=> 7y = 0
so, y = 0

in your solution 2nd step is wrong..
