Question

4(8 - y) = 2y + 16

Answer 1

It's your turn now.

How do you think this should be solved?

Answer 2

32 - 4y = 2y + 16
32 - 4y + -2y= 2y +16 + -2y
32 + 6y = 16
6y + 32=16
6y/6 = -16/6
y= -2.6

Answer 3

Looking at the left side only, try to expand that to make things easier:

4(8-y) --> 32-4y

Now that it's expanded, the question looks like this:

32 - 4y = 2y + 16

Does that look easier to solve?

Answer 4

yes but I still don't see how to solve it correctly
