How do you solve 12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)12(5+2y)=4y−(6−9y)? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 2 Answers Ujjwal Mar 17, 2018 y=-6y=−6 Explanation: 12(5+2y)=4y-(6-9y)12(5+2y)=4y−(6−9y) => 60+24y=4y-6+9y⇒60+24y=4y−6+9y => 60+24y=13y-6⇒60+24y=13y−6 => 24y-13y=-60-6⇒24y−13y=−60−6 => 11y=-66⇒11y=−66 => y=-66/11⇒y=−6611 => y=-6⇒y=−6 Answer link Jumbotron Mar 17, 2018 y = -6y=−6 Explanation: 12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)12(5+2y)=4y−(6−9y) 60 + 24y = 4y - 6 + 9y60+24y=4y−6+9y 60 + 24y = 13y - 660+24y=13y−6 24y - 13y = - 6 - 6024y−13y=−6−60 11y = - 6611y=−66 (11y)/11 = - 66/1111y11=−6611 (cancel11y)/cancel11 = - 66/11 y = -6 Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
