3. Solve each equation, and check your solution.
(2m - 16) = {(2m+ 4)
-4(r+2) = 4(2- 2r)
12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)

1) 2m - 16 = 2m + 4

2m - 2m = 4 + 16

0 = 20 (no solution)

2) -4(r + 2) = 4(2 - 2r)

-(r + 2) = 2 - 2r

-r - 2 = 2 - 2r

-r + 2r = 2 + 2

r = 4

3) 12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)

60 + 24y = 4y - 6 + 9y

60 + 24y = 13y - 6

24y - 13y = -6 - 60

11y = -66

y = -6
