To solve the equation \( 2(y + 8) = 32 \), follow these steps: 1. Distribute the 2 on the left side: \[ 2y + 16 = 32 \] 2. Subtract 16 from both sides: \[ 2y = 32 - 16 \] \[ 2y = 16 \] 3. Divide both sides by 2: \[ y = \frac{16}{2} \] \[ y = 8 \] So, the solution is \( y = 8 \).

2(y+8)=

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 2(y + 8) = 32 \), follow these steps:

Distribute the 2 on the left side: \[ 2y + 16 = 32 \]
Subtract 16 from both sides: \[ 2y = 32 - 16 \] \[ 2y = 16 \]
Divide both sides by 2: \[ y = \frac{16}{2} \] \[ y = 8 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 8 \).
