Question

Expand and simplify

3(y+4) + 5(y-2)

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Answer:

$= 3(y + 4) + 5(y - 2) \\ = 3y + 12 + 5y - 10 \\ = 8y + 2 \\ 8y = ( - 2) \\ y = \frac{( - 2)}{8} \\ y = \frac{ ( - 1)}{4}$

Answer 2

$= 3(y + 4) + 5(y - 2)$

$= 3y + 12 + 5y + 10$

$= 8y + 22$

$8y = - 22$

$y = \frac{ - 22}{8}$
