Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3y+7+5)=196-16
Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(3y+7+5)=196-16
(2)(3y)+(2)(7)+(2)(5)=196+-16(Distribute)
6y+14+10=196+-16
(6y)+(14+10)=(196+-16)(Combine Like Terms)
6y+24=180
Subtract 24 from both sides.
6y+24-24=180-24
6y=156
Divide both sides by 6.
6y/6=156/6
y=26
