Question 490817
{{{3(y-4)+y=2(6+2y)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3y-12+y=12+4y}}} Distribute.



{{{4y-12=12+4y}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4y=12+4y+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{4y-4y=12+12}}} Subtract {{{4y}}} from both sides.



{{{0y=12+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0y=24}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=24}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <font size=4><b>NEVER</b></font> true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.



So you have the correct answer (as in there are no answers...strange, yet true)
