Question

What is the value of y in the equation 2(2y − 16) = 0? 4,6,8,9

Answer 1

y=8

Explanation:

2(2y-16)=0

BY USING DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

(2*2y)-(2*16)=0

4y-32=0

4y=32

y=32/4

y=8

Answer 2

Take out your "like terms" out of the problem

2(y)- 16

2(2) = 4

4(y) - 8 = 0

y + 8 = 8y

8 + 0 = 8

We have one solution in this problem from the calculation we just did!

So, therefore your answer would have to be y=8

Good luck!
