Solve for y.

8(y – 2) = 4y

y =4

Step-by-step explanation:

8(y – 2) = 4y

Distribute

8y -16 =4y

Subtract 8y from each side

8y-8y -16 = 4y -8y

-16 = -4y

Divide each side by -4

-16/-4 = -4y/-4

4 = y

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72
