plz help me? what is the value of y? plz explain

For proportions just cross multiply.
8(y+2)=44
8y+16=44
8y=28
y=28/8
Answer:
28/8
Step-by-step explanation:
in easy way just cross multiplication.
so u solve this equation by saying.
8(y+2) =11*4
u open brackets then u get
8y+16=44
u collect like terms
8y=44-16
8y=28
so u want the value of y not 8y
so u divide by 8 both sides
u get y =28/8
or in simplest form u get 7/2 by simplifying...
hope it helped...
