What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process? 12y - 40 - 4y= 6y- 18
Step 1: 8y- 40 = 6y - 18
Step 2: 2y - 40 = -18

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

8y -40 = 6y - 18

8y - 6y - 40 = -18

2y - 40 = -18 ( the justification for step 2 is to isolate y on one side of the                   equation in order to solve for y )

2y - 40 + 40 = 40 - 18

2y = 22

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Check :

12(11) - 40 - 4(11) = 6 (11) - 18

132 - 40 - 44 = 66 - 18

48= 48

answer: 2/4
