Answer:
6=2(y+2)
distributive property
6=2(y)+2(2)
6=2y+4
-4 -4
2=2y
-- --
2 2
divide two in both sides to get y by itself
y=1
Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 = 2 (y + 2)
Distribuite:
2 * y = 2y
2 * 2 = 4
2y + 4 = 6
Use additive inverses. The additive inverse of addition is subtraction.
Subtract 4 from both sides:
2y + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4
6 - 4 = 2
2y ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 2
2y ÷ 2 = y
2 ÷ 2 = 1
To check our answer we multiply how much y is (which is 1) by 2.
2(1) + 4 = 6
2 * 1 = 2
2 + 4 = 6.
