Question

Solve for y.
-5y+6=-12y+62

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

First, combine the y terms in -5y+6=-12y+62:

7y + 6 = 62

Next, combine the constants:

7y = 56

Last, solve for y through division: y = 56/7 = 8

y = 8

Answer 2

y=8

Explanation:

Add 12y to both sides

7y+6=62

Minus 6 from both sides

7y=56

Divide by 7 on both sides

y=8

Y equals 8
