Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 4(y + 1) = 2y + 16

2 - 4y - 4 = 2y + 16

2 - 4 = 6y + 16

- 2 = 6y + 16

- 18 = 6y

-3 = y

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the multiplication:

2 - 4(y + 1) = 2y + 16   →   2 - 4y - 4 = 2y + 16

Combine like terms on the left side, obtaining:

-4y - 2 = 2y + 16

Combine the y terms:  -2 = 6y + 16

Add 2 to both sides simplify this equation further:

0 = 6y + 18

Then y = -3
