Help on linear equations please. ?

Question

15-(3-4y)=2(y+2)

and please explain why

because i am totally lost

with numbers on both sides.

Thank you

Answer 1

15-(3-4y)=2(y+2)

*expand out the brackets

15-3+4y=2y+4

*group like terms on both sides

12+4y=2y+4

*subtract 2y and 11 from both sides in order to group the constants and variables together

4y-2y=4-12

*combine like terms

2y=-8

*divide both sides by 2 in order to isolate the variable &quot;y&quot;

y=-4

Answer 2

Hey,

Very straight forward question

15-(3-4y)=2(y+2)

distribute the negative sign on the 3-4y, and multiply 2(y+2) by

15-3+4y=2y+4

now subtract 4 from both sides, to get

15-3+4y-4= 2y

next subtract 4y from both sides, to get

15-3-4=2y-4y

combine the terms to get

8 = -2y

divide both sides by -2 and reduce to get

y= -1/4

hope this helps

Answer 3

Simplify both sides of the equation first. On the left side distribute the negative to get 15-3+4y, which then simplifies to 12+4y. On the right side distribute the 2 to get 2y +4. Now the equation is 12+4y=2y+4. To solve this, get all the y terms on one side by subtracting 2y from both sides of the equation, which gives you 12+2y =4. Now solve for y by subtracting 12 from both sides to get 2y=-8, and divide both sides by 2 to get y=-4.



Good luck!

Answer 4

Your goal is to use the rules of algebra to turn the equation into y = ____.

First, work on the left side (and ignore the right side) until you get it into __ y + ____.

Then, work the right side (and ignore the left side) until you get is also into a _____ y + ______ form.

Then, subtract the right side&#039;s ______ y from both sides.

Then, subtract the left side&#039;s ________ from both sides.

That will give you ____ y = __________

Answer 5

15-(3-4y)=2(y=2)

simplify 15-3+4y=2y+4

simplify12+4y=2y=4

subtract 12 from each side subtract 2y from each side

simplify 2y=-8

divide by 2

y=4

THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER!!!!
