Question

What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?

Answer 1

4y – 2(1 – y) = –44
4y - 2 + 2y = -44
6y = -42
y = -7
hope it helps

Answer 2

Value of y is:

-7

Explanation:

We are given a equation:

4y-2(1-y)= -44

We have to find the value of y

4y-2(1-y)= -44

4y-2+2y= -44

6y-2= -44

Adding 2 on both sides, we get

6y= -42

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

y= -7

Hence, value of y in the given equation is:

-7
