Solve for y.
-$$y - 4 ( x + 9 ) = 8 + 2 y$$
A) $y = - 4 x - 44$
B) $y = - 4 x + 44$
C) $y = 4 x + 28$
D) $y = 4 x + 44$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for $y$, first distribute the 4 across the parentheses: $y - 4x - 36 = 8 + 2y$. Then, subtract $2y$ from both sides and add $36$ to both sides to get $-4x - 28 = y$, which simplifies to $y = -4x - 28$. However, none of the options match this result exactly due to a calculation mistake in simplifying the equation. Correcting the steps: distribute the 4 to get $y - 4x - 36 = 8 + 2y$, then move terms to isolate $y$, getting $y - 2y = 4x + 44$, which simplifies correctly to $y = -4x - 44$, matching option A.

Solve for Y y−4(x+9)=8+2yy - 4 ( x + 9 ) = 8 + 2 yy−4(x+9)=8+2y

Solve for Y $y - 4 ( x + 9 ) = 8 + 2 y$
