Question

How do you solve
y=5+2(3-4x)

Answer 1

Simplifying
y = 5 + 2(3 + -4x)
y = 5 + (3 * 2 + -4x * 2)
y = 5 + (6 + -8x)

Combine like terms: 5 + 6 = 11
y = 11 + -8x

Solving
y = 11 + -8x

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
y = 11 + -8x
