Can someone explain this please?

3 + 2y = 2 + 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Create the equation

3 + 2y = 2 + 4y

There are 3 "1" blocks and 2 "y" blocks on the left. There are 2 "1" blocks and 4 "y" blocks on the right. The scale shows both are equal.

3 + 2y = 2 + 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

To create an equation from this model, we look at both sides of the scale. The left has three 1 units and two y units, and there are two 1 units and four y units on the right side. Since the scale shows that both sides are equal in weight, we know that our equation would have an equal sign to show they are equal.

Left: Three 1 units can be written as 3 and two y units could be written as 2y.

Right: Two 1 units can be written as 2 and four y units could be written as 4y.

Now, we put these values together (with an equal sign) to get:

3 + 2y = 2 + 4y.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

3

x

+

2

−

4

x

second, group like terms:

3

x

−

4

x

+

2

third, combine like terms:

(

)

x

+

2

→

−

1

x

2

→

−

x

+

2

the answer to this in exact form is 4/35 but in decimal form its 0.1142857

hope this if needed hmu
