    a. 4(2n + 3) - 3(n - 1) = 0

    8n + 12 -3n + 3 = 0

    5n = -15

    n = -3

    b. (2y - 3) - (y + 6) = 63

    2y - 3 - y - 6 = 63

    y = 63 +6 +3

    y = 72

    a) 4(2n+3)-3(n-1) = 0

    8n+12-3n+3 = 0

    8n-3n+12+3 = 0

    5n+15 = 0

    5n = 0-15

    5n = -15

    n = -15/5

    n = -3

    b) (2y-3)-(y+6) = 63

    2y-3-y-6 = 63

    2y-y-3-6 = 63

    y-9 = 63

    y = 63+9

    y = 72

    a. 4(2n + 3) - 3(n - 1) = 0

    8n +12 -3n +3 = 0

    5n +15 = 0

    5n = -15

    n = -3

    b. (2y - 3) - (y + 6) = 63

    2y - 3 - y - 6 = 63

    y = 63 +6 +3

    y = 72

    4(2n + 3) - 3(n - 1) = 0 (distribute outside of the grouping symbol)

    8n + 12 - 3n + 3 = 0

    8n - 5n + 12 + 3 = 0

    3n + 6 = 0

    -15 = -15 (subtract 6 to isolate the 3n)

    3n = -15 (divide by 30)

    n = -3

    ------------------------------------------------------

    (2y - 3) - (y + 6) = 63 (distribute the - sign to the one symbol)

    2y - 3 - y - 6 = 63

    2y - y - 3 - 6 = 63

    y - 9 = 63 (add 9)

    +9 = +9

    y = 72
