Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2[4y + -9] = 14
Reorder the terms:
2[-9 + 4y] = 14
[-9 * 2 + 4y * 2] = 14
[-18 + 8y] = 14
Solving
-18 + 8y = 14
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 18 + 8y = 14 + 18
Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + 8y = 14 + 18
8y = 14 + 18
Combine like terms: 14 + 18 = 32
8y = 32
Divide each side by '8'.
y = 4
