How many values for y satisfy the equation -6(4y + 2) = 3(4 - 8y)?

A

B

C

D


Correct Answer: A

Your Answer:

Explanation

A

The question asks for the number of solutions to an equation. Distribute on both sides of the equation to get -24y - 12 = 12 - 24y. Add 24y to both sides of the equation to get -12 = 12. This is not true, so the equation has no solutions. The correct answer is (A).
