8(3)-3y=12 What is y in this equation

2 answers:

3 0

8(3) - 3y = 12

First, multiply 8 × 3 to get 24.
$24 - 3y = 12$
Second, subtract '24' from both sides.
$-3y = 12 - 24$
Third, subtract '12 - 24' to get '-12'.
$-3y = -12$
Fourth, divide both sides by '-3'.
$y = \frac{-12}{-3}$
Fifth, change the whole fraction to a negative.
$y = \frac{12}{3}$
Sixth, 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Simplify your fraction to 4.
$y = 4$

Answer: y = 4

The y is equal to 4
because 3 x 4 = 12
and 8 x 3 = 24 so
24 - 12 = 12
