Solve 6(2y-1)-2(4y)=4

Evaluate

6 (2 y - 1) - 2 \times 4 y = 4

Multiply the numbers

6 (2 y - 1) - 8 y = 4

Move the expression to the left side

6 (2 y - 1) - 8 y - 4 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

4 y - 10 = 0

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

4 y = 0 + 10

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

4 y = 10

Divide both sides

\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{10}{4}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{10}{4}

Solution

y = \frac{5}{2}

Alternative Form

y = 2.5
