QUESTION:
Solve the following equation
22-3(y-2)=y+8
ANSWER:
22 - 3 ( y - 2 ) = y + 8
First of all remove the parenthesis as follows......
22 - 3* y -3 *-2 = y + 8
22 -3y + 6 = y + 8
22 + 6 - 3y = y + 8
28 - 3y = y + 8
Subtract 28 from both sides
==> 28 - 3y -28 = y + 8 - 28
==> -3y = y - 20
Again subtract y from both sides....
==> -3y - y = y - 20 -y
==> -4y = -20
Now divide both sides by -4
==> -4y/-4 = -20/-4
==> y = 5
So the solution is y = 5
Hope you found the explanation useful.....
