Question

3(2y + 3) + 6(3y – 1) = 1 – 7y

Answer 1

y = -
`(2)/(31)`

Explanation:

3(2y + 3) + 6(3y - 1) = 1 - 7y ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6y + 9 +18y - 6 = 1 - 7y

24y + 3 = 1 - 7y ( add 7y to both sides )

31y + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

31y = - 2 ( divide both sides by 31 )

y = -
`(2)/(31)`
