2 (y-4) -5(y+8) = 0

its multi step equation and i still can't figure out how to do this​


Sagot :

Use photo math but the answer is y= -16 they will explain it step by step

Answer:

y=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

2(y-4)-5(y+8)=0  (distribute the 2 and the negative 5)

2y-8-5y-40=0   (combine like terms)

-3y-48=0    (add 48 to both sides)

-3y=48     (divide both sides by -3)

y=-16

Hope this helps :)
