Question

Solve for y.2+2(3y-7)= -3(4y-1) +6ySimplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Given the equation

`2+2(3y-7)=-3(4y-1)+6y`

Open the brackets on both sides

`\begin{gathered} 2+6y-14=-12y+3+6y \\ 6y-12=-6y+3 \end{gathered}`

Add 6y on both sides.

`\begin{gathered} 6y-12+6y=-6y+3+6y \\ 12y-12=3 \\ 12y=15 \\ y=(15)/(12)=(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`
