Question

how do you solve 3(3y-8)=30

Answer 1

$y=6$

Explanation

$3(3y-8)=30$

Step 1

divide both sides by 3

$\begin{gathered} 3(3y-8)=30 \\ \frac{3(3y-8)}{3}=\frac{30}{3} \\ 3y-8=10 \end{gathered}$

Step 2

add 8 in both sides

$\begin{gathered} 3y-8=10 \\ 3y-8+8=10+8 \\ 3y=18 \end{gathered}$

Step 3

finally, divide both sides by 3

$\begin{gathered} 3y=18 \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{18}{3} \\ y=6 \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you
