y = –4
y = –4

y = 4
y = 4

y = –2
y = –2

y = –6

Answer 1

y = –4
y = –4

y = 4
y = 4

y = –2
y = –2

y = –6

THESE are the choices dawg, pick one

Answer 2

To solve the equation –4y + 8 = 4(2y – 2) – 2(–16 + 8y), first distribute on both sides:

-4y + 8 = 8y - 8 - 32 + 16y.

Combine like terms on the right side:

-4y + 8 = 24y - 40.

Next, combine like terms on the left side:

8 = 28y - 40.

Add 40 to both sides:

48 = 28y.

Finally, divide both sides by 28:

y = 48/28.

Simplifying the fraction gives:

y = 12/7.

So, the correct solution is:

y = 12/7 or y ≈ 1.714.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Based on the given choices, the solution to the equation –4y + 8 = 4(2y – 2) – 2(–16 + 8y) is:

y = –4
