QuestionSolve the equation 4(3y+2)+2y=504(3y + 2) + 2y = 50.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 4(3y+)+y=504(3 y+)+ y=50 . We are solving for the variable yy

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 44 in the expression 4(y+2)4( y+2).
4(y+2)=4y+424( y+2) =4*y +4*2

STEP 3

Calculate the distributed values.
(3y+2)=12y+8(3 y+2) =12y +8

STEP 4

Now, replace the distributed expression in the original equation.
12y+8+2y=5012y +8 +2y =50

STEP 5

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
14y+8=5014y +8 =50

STEP 6

Next, subtract 88 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with yy on one side.
14y=50814y =50 -8

STEP 7

Calculate the right side of the equation.
14y=4214y =42

STEP 8

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 1414 to solve for yy.
y=42/14y =42 /14

STEP 9

Calculate the value of yy.
y=42/14=3y =42 /14 =3So, the solution to the equation 4(3y+2)+2y=504(3 y+2)+2 y=50 is y=3y =3.
