Question

Solve : y/6 - 3 = -11

Provide an explanation

Answer 1

1



Add 33 to both sides

\frac{y}{6}=-11+3​6​​y​​=−11+3


2



Simplify -11+3−11+3 to -8−8

\frac{y}{6}=-8​6​​y​​=−8


3



Multiply both sides by 66

y=-8\times 6y=−8×6


4



Simplify 8\times 68×6 to 4848

y=-48y=−48

this part is the checking part of how i got my answer.

\frac{y}{6}-3=-11​6​​y​​−3=−11


1



Let y=-48y=−48

\frac{-48}{6}-3=-11​6​​−48​​−3=−11


2



Move the negative sign to the left

-\frac{48}{6}-3=-11−​6​​48​​−3=−11


3



Simplify \frac{48}{6}​6​​48​​ to 88

-8-3=-11−8−3=−11


4



Simplify -8-3−8−3 to -11−11

-11=-11−11=−11
