Solving multi step equations

2y + 8 + 4y = 44

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You need to use like terms with the 2y and the 4y. You will add them together to get 6y.

Your equation should look like this now: 6y + 8 = 44

2) You subtract the 8 from each side and that cancels the 8 out of the left side and makes the right size equal 36.

Your equation should look like this now: 6y = 36

3) Then you need to get the 6 off of the y so you divide both sides by 6.

Your should now have: y = 6

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

6y+8=44

44-8=6y

6y=36

6y/6 = 36/6

y=6
