Question

$$2(y-8)-2=3y+4$$

Solve for y

$y=-22$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $y-8$.

$$2y-16-2=3y+4$$

Subtract $2$ from $-16$ to get $-18$.

$$2y-18=3y+4$$

Subtract $3y$ from both sides.

$$2y-18-3y=4$$

Combine $2y$ and $-3y$ to get $-y$.

$$-y-18=4$$

Add $18$ to both sides.

$$-y=4+18$$

Add $4$ and $18$ to get $22$.

$$-y=22$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$y=-22$$
