-2(7-y)+4=-4
Multiply the bracket by -2
(-2)(7)(-2)(-y)+4=-4
-14+2y+4=-4
Combine like terms:
-14+4+2y=-4
-10+2y=-4
Move -10 to the other side. Sign changes from -10 to +10.
-10+10+2y=-4+10
2y=6
Divide by 2 for both sides.
2y/2=6/2
Cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and then becomes: 1*1*y=y
y=3
Answer : y=3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(7-y)+4=-4
distribure
-14 + 2y + 4 (it becomes a +2 because 2 negatives become a positive).
inverse carry over
-4 - 4 = -8 +14 = 6 / -2 =-3
