Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. -10y + 4 - 4y = -20y + 16 -14y + 4 = -20y + 16 6y + 4 = 16 6y = blank subtract 4 from both sides y = blank divide both sides by 6

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms

Combined $-10y$ and $-4y$ on the left - hand side of the equation: $-10y-4y=-14y$.

Step2: Add 20y to both sides

$-14y + 4+20y=-20y + 16+20y$, which simplifies to $6y + 4 = 16$.

Step3: Subtract 4 from both sides

$6y+4 - 4=16 - 4$, so $6y=12$.

Step4: Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{12}{6}$, then $y = 2$.

Answer:

The first blank is "Combine like - terms"; the second blank is "Add 20y to both sides"; the third blank is 12; the fourth blank is 2.
