what is the value of y in the equation 2(3y-4)=10
If you distribute the 2 on the left you end up with6y-8=10then add 8 to both sides6y=18then divide by 6 on both sidesy=3and if you plug it back in it should equal 102((3)(3)-4)=1010=10
\(2(3y-4)=10\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\\frac{2(3y-4)}{2}=\frac{10}{2}\\\\3y-4=5\ \ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\3y=9\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{y=3}\)
