Okay. So i am getting frusterated
I was given a math sheet. On it has the anwsers. I have tried to get my answer to match up, but I can't get it. COuld somebody please help me?
10-(2y-6)-y y is 8
*The answer is -8.*
Thanks!!
are you supposed to evaluate
10-(2y-6)-y when y = 8 ? if so, then ...
= 10 - (16-6) - 8
= 10 - 10 - 8
= -8
Oh thank you so much!!!
Of course, I can help you with that!
To solve the expression 10-(2y-6)-y when y is 8, we can substitute the value of y into the expression and evaluate it step by step.
Let's start by evaluating the expression inside the first parentheses, (2y-6), by substituting y with 8:
2 * 8 - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10
Now, we can rewrite the expression as 10 - 10 - y. Again, substituting y with 8:
10 - 10 - 8 = 0 - 8 = -8
Therefore, when y is 8, the expression 10-(2y-6)-y equals -8.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to arrive at the answer. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask!
