Question

Find the value of y
-6y+14+4y=32

A.-9
B.1.8
C.9
D.18

Answer 1

-6y + 14 + 4y = 32

Add like terms on the left side.

-2y + 14 = 32

Subtract 14 from both sides.

-2y = 18

Divide both sides by -2.

y = -9

Answer 2

-6y + 14 + 4y = 32

Combine like terms:
-2y + 14 = 32

Take away 14 from both sides:
-2y = 18

Divide by -2 on both sides:
y = -9

Answer: y = -9 (Answer A)
