y=12

Step-by-step explanation

The subtraction property of equality tells us that if we subtract from one side of an equation, we also must subtract from the other side of the equation to keep the equation the same,

in order to know the y value, we have to isolate y, then

Step 1

subtract 6 in both sides


\begin{gathered} 6+y=18 \\ 6+y-6=18-6 \\ \end{gathered}

Step 2

add like terms


\begin{gathered} 6+y-6=18-6 \\ y=12 \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


y=12

I hope this helps you
