What is the value of y in the equation 2(3y + 4 + 2) = 196 - 16?

Hi!

First, simplify, then use the distribution property.
2(3y + 6) = 180

Distribute
6y + 12 = 180

Subtract 12 from both sides.
6y = 168

Divide by 6 on both sides
y = 28

The answer is 28

Hope this helps! :)

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
