Question

What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4y+(−2)(1)+(−2)(−y)=−44    ===> Distribute -2 

4y+−2+2y=−44 <==You end up with this 

(4y+2y)+(−2)=−44 <===Combine like terms

6y−2=−44 <===Left with 

6y−2+2=−44+2 <== Add 2 to both sides.

6y=−42 <===once you do that you're left with this 

Divide both sides by 6 to get the final answer of: 

y=-7
