question
solve.
$2(y + 8)=32$
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
$y =$

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the 2

$2(y + 8)=2y+16$, so the equation becomes $2y + 16=32$.

Step2: Subtract 16 from both sides

$2y+16 - 16=32 - 16$, which simplifies to $2y = 16$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{16}{2}$, so $y = 8$.

Answer:

$y = 8$
