Question

If 5(y-2) - 3(y + 4) = 0, then y
IS
A. -1
B. 3
C. 7
D. 11​

Answer 1

11 because you distribute the 5 to y and -2 and distribute the -3 to y and 4 so it would be (5y-10) and (-3y-12) combine like terms which would end in 2y and -22 set up as 2y=-22 and solve getting 11

Answer 2

Y is -1.

Explanation:

If you substitute the values, you find that that's the correct answer.
