Question 152720


{{{2y-12=-4(2y-2)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2y-12=-8y+8}}} Distribute.



{{{2y=-8y+8+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{2y+8y=8+12}}} Add {{{8y}}} to both sides.



{{{10y=8+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{10y=20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(20)/(10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{10}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=2}}} Reduce.
