Give the steps you will use to separate the variables and then solve the equation : 2(y – 1) =8 |
|
Answer» Given 2(y – 1) = 8 ⇒ 2y – 2 = 8 (Distributive property) ⇒ 2y – 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (Add 2 on both sides) ⇒ 2y = 10 ⇒ 2y/2 = 10/2 (Divide by 2 on both sides) ⇒ y = 5 Check: Substitute y = 5 in the given equation LHS = 2(y – 1) = 2(5 – 1) = 2 × 4 = 8 = RHS Hence verified. |
