Question

Solve each equation and state whether the equation has one solution,no solution,or identity.

12y+48-4y=8(y-6)

Answer 1

Hi

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation step by step:

12y + 48 - 4y = 8(y - 6)

First, distribute 8 on the right side of the equation:

12y + 48 - 4y = 8y - 48

Now, simplify both sides by combining like terms:

(12y - 4y) + 48 = 8y - 48

8y + 48 = 8y - 48

Next, subtract 8y from both sides of the equation to isolate the constant term:

48 = -48

Now, we can see that the variable "y" has canceled out, and we're left with the equation 48 = -48. This equation is not true because 48 is not equal to -48. Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
