Solve 12(3+y)=5(2y+8)

Evaluate

12 (3 + y) = 5 (2 y + 8)

Calculate

More Steps

36 + 12 y = 5 (2 y + 8)

Calculate

More Steps

36 + 12 y = 10 y + 40

Move the expression to the left side

36 + 12 y - (10 y + 40) = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

- 4 + 2 y = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 y = 0 + 4

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

2 y = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{4}{2}

Solution

y = 2

12(3+y)=5(2y+8)
