What is the value of y in the equation 2(3y + 6 + 3) = 196 − 16?

2(3y + 6 + 3) = 196 - 16

2 x (3y + 9) = 196 - 16

2 x (3y + 9) = 180

2 x 3y + 2 x 9 = 180

6y + 2 x 9 = 180

6y + 18 = 180

6y = 180 - 18

6y = 162

y = 162/6

y = 27

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
