Answer :
Given the following equation,
[tex]\text{ 2\lparen2y - 16\rparen = 0}[/tex]Let's determine the value of y.
[tex]\text{ 2\lparen2y - 16\rparen = 0}[/tex][tex]\text{ }\frac{2(2y\text{ - 16\rparen}}{2}\text{ = 2}[/tex][tex]\text{ 2y - 16 = 0}[/tex][tex]\text{ 2y = 16}[/tex][tex]\text{ }\frac{2y}{2}\text{ = }\frac{16}{2}[/tex][tex]\text{ y = 8}[/tex]Therefore, y = 8
The answer is 8.
