Question

Solve the equation.
y+6=-3y + 26
y = -8
O y = -5
O'y=5
y = 8

Answer 1

y = 5

Explanation:

given the equation

y + 6 = - 3y + 26 ( add 3y to both sides )

y + 3y + 6 = - 3y + 3y + 26 ( simplify both sides )

4y + 6 = 26 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

4y + 6 - 6 = 26 - 6 ( simplify both sides )

4y = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

`(4)/(4)` y =
`(20)/(4)` , that is

y = 5
