Solve the equations. Remember to use Desmos to answer or to check. Answers should only include the number with no spaces unless the answer is infinite or none. Also, remember if no graph shows when you enter the equation - you have to enter each side of the equation seperately (in different Desmos boxes). For example: if you type x-3 = x+2-5 and nothings shows, you type in box 1: x-3 and in box 2: x+2-5. If they are the same line then the answer is infinite. If they are parallel lines, then the answer is none.

Question

Note 1:

6y - 8 - 6 - 8y = 4
*

Answer 1

The equation can be simplified as follows:

6y - 8 - 6 - 8y = 4

Combine like terms:

-2y - 14 = 4

Add 14 to both sides:

-2y = 18

Divide both sides by -2:

y = -9

The solution is y = -9.
