What is 2 (3y+4) = 20-3y

2 (3y+4) = 20-3y y is equal to

4/3

If solving for y:

distribute: 6y + 8=20-3y (multiply 2 by 3y and 4)

get rid of one extra number: 6y=12-3y (subtract 8 from both sides)

get rid of the extra variable: 9y=12 (add 3y to both sides)

isolate variable: 9y/9=12/9 (divide by 9 on both sides)

answer = y=1 1/3
