Given the numerical equation:
2( 3 - 8y )
Simplify the given equation.
Solution:
In order to simplify the given equation, we simply need to distribute 2 to each value inside the parenthesis. When we say distribute, it means that we will multiply.
= 2 ( 3 - 8y )
= 6 - 16y
If we are asked to solve for y, we just transpose -16y to the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes. After transpose we divide both sides by 16.
16y = 6
16y/16 = 6/16
y = 3/8
Final answer:
Simplified form: 6 - 16y
y = 3/8
