Simplifying

13 + -6y = 1

Solving

13 + -6y = 1

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -13 + -6y = 1 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + -6y = 1 + -13

-6y = 1 + -13

Combine like terms: 1 + -13 = -12

-6y = -12

Divide each side by '-6'.

y = 2

Simplifying

y = 2
