Solve 4(3-y)+8=12(3-y)

$$4 ( 3 - y ) + 8 = 12 ( 3 - y )$$

Solve for y

$$y=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3-y.

$$12-4y+8=12\left(3-y\right)$$

Add 12 and 8 to get 20.

$$20-4y=12\left(3-y\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 3-y.

$$20-4y=36-12y$$

Add 12y to both sides.

$$20-4y+12y=36$$

Combine -4y and 12y to get 8y.

$$20+8y=36$$

Subtract 20 from both sides.

$$8y=36-20$$

Subtract 20 from 36 to get 16.

$$8y=16$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$y=\frac{16}{8}$$

Divide 16 by 8 to get 2.

$$y=2$$
