Question

Solve each of the following equations and show how you checked your answers 2y+4y=6-3y

Answer 1

y=2/3

Explanation:

2y+4y=6-3y

⇔ 2y+4y+3y=6

⇔ 9y=6

⇔ y=6/9=2/3

Answer 2

The answer is:

y = 2/3

Work/explanation:

For now, I focus on the left side and combine the like terms:

`\bf{2y+4y=6-3y}`

`\bf{6y=6-3y}`

Add 3y to each side

`\bf{6y+3y=6}`

Combine like terms

`\bf{9y=6}`

Divide each side by 9

`\bf{y=(6)/(9)}`

`\bf{y=(2)/(3)}`

Hence, the answer is 2/3.
