Question

Simplify16(y-4)-3(y-9)+6(y-6)=0

Answer 1

$16(y - 4) - 3(y - 9) + 6( y - 6) \\ = 0 \\ 16y - 64 - 3y + 27 + 6y -36 = 0 \\ 19y = 73 \\ = y = \frac{73}{19}$

Answer 2

16(y - 4) - 3(y - 9) + 6(y - 6) = 0

Distribute 16, -3 and 6:

16y - 64 - 3y + 27 + 6y - 36 = 0

Combine like terms:

19y -73 = 0

Add 73 to both sides:

19y = 73

Divide both sides by 19:

y = 73/19

Answer: y = 73/19
