4(y+6) = 8

1 answer

To find the value of y, we can solve the equation step by step.

Expanding the left side of the equation, we have:

4(y+6) = 8
4y + 24 = 8

Next, subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

4y + 24 - 24 = 8 - 24
4y = -16

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for y:

4y/4 = -16/4
y = -4

Therefore, the value of y is -4.
