simplify 4(y/2-2)-(8+y)

Solution

simplify

4 (\frac{y}{2} - 2) - (8 + y)

Solution

y - 16

Solution steps

4 (\frac{y}{2} - 2) - (8 + y)

\frac{y}{2} - 2 = \frac{- 4 + y}{2}

- (8 + y) = - 8 - y

= 4 \cdot \frac{- 4 + y}{2} - 8 - y

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{- 4 + y}{2} : 2 (- 4 + y)

= 2 (- 4 + y) - 8 - y

Expand

2 (- 4 + y) : - 8 + 2 y

= - 8 + 2 y - 8 - y

Group like terms

= 2 y - y - 8 - 8

Add similar elements:

2 y - y = y

= y - 8 - 8

Subtract the numbers:

- 8 - 8 = - 16

= y - 16
