Question

3y + 6 = 18y

- What does the ( y ) variable stand for and how exactly do you find it?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2/5 or 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

3y + 6 = 18y -->

subtract 3y from both sides to get rid of it.

6 = 15y -->

isolate the variable by dividing it by 15.

6/15 = 15y/15 -->

simplify.

2/5 = y
