Question

linear equations w/ distribution (lev 1) question id: 1320 score: 0/2 penalty: 0.5 off question solve. 2(4y + 5) = 34

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the 2

$2\times4y+2\times5 = 34$, which simplifies to $8y + 10=34$.

Step2: Subtract 10 from both sides

$8y+10 - 10=34 - 10$, so $8y=24$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{24}{8}$, then $y = 3$.

Answer:

$y = 3$
