Answer:

y=9

Explanation:

Happy to help!

Lets break this down, shall we?

2(3y-6)=42

So we need to figure out what times 2 equals 42, correct?

42/2= 21

so this means that 3y-6=21

what minus 6 equals 21? lets turn that into an equation!

6+21=3y

whats 6+21? thats right, 27!

27=3y

now, we solve!

27/3= 9

y=9

Lets check out work!

2((3x9)-6)=42

3x9=27

2(27-6)=42

27-6=21

2x21=42

Hope this helps! ^^
