What is the value of y in the equation 4 у - 2 (1 - у) = - 44?

-23

-15

-14

-7

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

4y - 2 (1 - y) = - 44

First expand the bracket

4y - 2 x 1 - 2 x - y = - 44

Negative times negative gives positive

4y - 2 + 2y = - 44

Rearrange the expression

4y + 2y - 2 = - 44

6y - 2 = - 44

Add 2 to both sides

6y - 2 + 2 = - 44 + 2

6y = - 42

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6 = - 42/6

y = - 7

y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

4y-2 (1-y) = -44

4y-2+2y=-44 (-2 (1-y) = -2+2y)

6y-2=-44 (Add: 4y+2y=6y)

6y-2+2=-44+2 (Add 2 in both side)

6y=-42

6y/6=-42/6 (divide 6 by both side)

y=-7
