The value of y in 4(2y – 3) + 12 = 40 is

y =5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(2y−3)+12=40

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(2y−3)+12=40

(4)(2y)+(4)(−3)+12=40(Distribute)

8y+−12+12=40

(8y)+(−12+12)=40(Combine Like Terms)

8y=40

8y=40

Step 2: Divide both sides by 8.

8y

8

=

40

8

y=5

y=5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2y – 3) + 12 = 40

8y - 12 + 12 = 40

8y = 40

y = 40/8

y = 5

1/800 is the right answer
