Question

I-ready Solve the equqation -2y + 6 = -12 y=

Answer 1

y = 9

Explanation:

I think you might have written this problem wrong, but I think the question is asking me to find y in the equation:

`-2y+6=-12`

Lets start by subtracting 6 from both sides:

`-2y+6-6=-12-6`

Simplify:

`-2y = -18`

Multiply both sides by -1

`(-1)(-2y) = (-18)(-1)`

Simplify(cancel duplicate negatives)

`2y = 18`

Divide both sides by 2

`(2y)/(2)=(18)/(2)`

Simplify(remove denominator)

`y = 9`

Therfore, y = 9

I hope this helped!
