Question

$$y , \frac { 2 y - 4 } { 3 } = 8$$

Solve for y, z

$z=14$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Multiply both sides by $3$.

$$2y-4=8\times 3$$

Multiply $8$ and $3$ to get $24$.

$$2y-4=24$$

Add $4$ to both sides.

$$2y=24+4$$

Add $24$ and $4$ to get $28$.

$$2y=28$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$y=\frac{28}{2}$$

Divide $28$ by $2$ to get $14$.

$$y=14$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$z=14$$

The system is now solved.

$$y=14$$ $$z=14$$
