Question

Solve each of the following equations for the indica a. Solve for y: 2(y - 3) = 4

Answer 1

The given equation is 2(y-3)=4.

Opening the brackets implies,

2y-6=4

Move the y terms to LHS and constants to RHS implies,

`\begin{gathered} 2y=10 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of y is 5.
