Question

solve and check
2(y-6)=14​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

2y + -6 = 14

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2y = 14

Solving

-6 + 2y = 14

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 2y = 14 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 2y = 14 + 6

2y = 14 + 6

Combine like terms: 14 + 6 = 20

2y = 20

Divide each side by '2'.

y = 10

Simplifying

y = 10
