Question

6y - 5 - 2y = 3y - 11
y = ?
What does y equal?

Answer 1

6y−5−2y=3y−11

Simplify both sides of the equation.

6y−5−2y=3y−11
4y−5=3y−11

Subtract 3y from both sides.

4y−5−3y=3y−11−3y

y−5=−11

Add 5 to both sides.

y−5+5=−11+5

y=−6

Answer 2

ooh i love these equations ok let's go
subtract 3y from each side
3y-5-2y=-11
y-5=-11
y=-6
