6=2(y+2) y=?

please help​

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this

The first method will have us distribute the 2 through to each term, then we solve for y

6 = 2(y+2)

6 = 2y+4 distribute

2y+4 = 6

2y = 6-4 subtract 4 from both sides

2y = 2

y = 2/2 divide both sides by 2

y = 1 is the answer

Or we can solve through this set of steps

6 = 2(y+2)

6/2 = y+2 divide both sides by 2

3 = y+2

y+2 = 3

y = 3-2 subtract 2 from both sides

y = 1

Either way, we get the same answer.

To check the answer, replace every copy of y with 1

Simplifying should lead to 6 on the right side

6 = 2(y+2)

6 = 2(1+2)

6 = 2(3)

6 = 6

Since we get the same thing on both sides, this means the last equation is true. This in turn means the first equation is true when y = 1. Therefore, the solution has been confirmed.

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
