Question

4(8-y)=2y+16 solve please

Answer 1

32-4y=2y+16
32=6y+16
16=6y
y=2.666 infinite

Answer 2

For this problem, we are solving for y. That means we need to get y to one side of the equation. 

First we need to distribute 4 to 8-y.

32 - 4y = 2y + 16

Now we can add -4y to both sides of the equation.

32 = 6y + 16

Now we subtract 16 from both sides.

16= 6y

Finally we divide by 6 on both sides.

y = 6/16

reduced

y = 3/8
