What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?
a.–23
b.–15
c.–14
d.–7

4y+(−2)(1)+(−2)(−y)=−44    ===> Distribute -2 

4y+−2+2y=−44 <==You end up with this 

(4y+2y)+(−2)=−44 <===Combine like terms

6y−2=−44 <===Left with 

6y−2+2=−44+2 <== Add 2 to both sides.
6y=−42 <===once you do that you're left with this 

Divide both sides by 6 to get the final answer of: 
y=-7 

D) Y= -7 bc it equals 4y -2 + 2y = -44 and if you simplify its 6y = -42, divide both sides by 6 and you get -7
