Question

6y-6=4y+16
a. y=2.2
b. y=-2.2
c. y=11
d. y=5

Answer 1

6y - 6 = 4y + 16

First, add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 6y = 4y + 16 + 6
Second, simplify 4y + 16 + 6 to 4y + 22. / Your problem should look like 6y = 4y + 22
Third, subtract 4y from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 6y - 4y = 22
Fourth, simplify 6y - 4y to 2y. / Your problem should look like: 2y = 22
Fifth, divide both sides to 2. / Your problem should look like: y =
`(22)/(2)`
Sixth, simplify
`(22)/(2)` to 11. / Your problem should look like: y = 11

Answer: y = 11 (C)
