Explain how to find the value of y in the equation 6(y+4)=12

y=-2 (Please can i have brainliest)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways to do this but my way, you would distribute 6 to both y and 4, ending up with 6y+24=12. You then subtract 24 from both sides giving you, 6y=-12. Then divide both sides by 6, giving you y=-2

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would distribute the 6 to both the y and the 4 which would give you 6y+24=12

Then you would subtract 24 from 12 to get -12 ( it would look like 6y= -12 after)

Finally, you would take -12/6 to get -2 so y = -2
