Question

Solve for y:

-y+6+6y=9

Answer 1

-y + 6 + 6y = 9

First, simplify -y + 6 + 6y to 5y + 6. / Your problem should look like: $5y + 6 = 9$
Second, subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: $5y = 9 - 6$
Third, subtract 9 - 6 to get 3. / Your problem should look like: $5y = 3$
Fourth, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: $y = \frac{3}{5}$

Answer as fraction: y = $\frac{3}{5}$
Answer as decimal: 0.6

Answer 2

−y+6+6y=9

(−y+6y)+(6)=9(Combine Like Terms)

5y+6=9

Subtract 6 from both sides.

5y+6−6=9−6

5y=3

Divide both sides by 5.

5y/5=3/5

y=3/5
