solve.
2(4y - 4)=32
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
y =

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the 2

$2\times4y - 2\times4=32$, which simplifies to $8y - 8 = 32$.

Step2: Add 8 to both sides

$8y-8 + 8=32 + 8$, resulting in $8y=40$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{40}{8}$, so $y = 5$.

Answer:

$y = 5$
