Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
4(y - 3) = 48
1. Distribute
4y - 12 = 48
2. Simplify Like terms
4y - 12 = 48
+ 12 + 12
4y = 60
3. Solve
4y = 60
/4 /4
y = 15
4. Check:
4(y - 3) = 48
4((15) - 3) = 48
4(12) = 48
48 = 48 Correct!

Answer:
[tex]y=15\\[/tex]
Step 1:
To find y, we first have to multiply [tex]4(y-3)[/tex]. When we do that (4 * y, 4 * - 3), we get [tex]4y-12[/tex].
Step 2:
Our equation looks like this now:
[tex]4y-12=48[/tex]
To solve this equation, we have to add 12 on both sides so we can cancel out the -12 on the left side of the equation.
[tex]4y-12(+12)=48(+12)[/tex]
[tex]4y=60[/tex]
Now, we can divide 4 on both sides to get y by itself.
[tex]4y/4\\60/4[/tex]
[tex]y=15[/tex]
