Im solving variables 3 (y-4) = -2 + 13

11

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y-4) = -2 +13

3y - 12 = 11

3y = 33

y = 11

y=23/3 or y=7.66

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y-4)=-2+13

Step One

The first thing you want to do is distribute the 3 to the y and the -4, to simplify the left side. So it would be 3 times y and 3 times -4, you would end up with 3y-12.

3y-12=-2+13

Step Two

The next thing you would want to do is simplify the left side, you would add the -2 and the 13 and get 11.

3y-12=11

Step Three

The next thing you would want to do is add 12 to each side to isolate the y variable on one side of the equation. The -12 on the left would cancel out. The right side would become 23 since it would be 12 added to 11.

3y=23

Step Four

The final thing you would want to do is divide by 3 on both sides to solve for y. The 3 on the left side would cancel out. On the right you are left with 23/3.

y=23/3

Step Five

If you want your answer in decimal form you would divide 23 by 3 and get 7.66.

The final answer is 7=23/3 or y=7.66.

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
