Answer:

y = 1

Explanation:

-3y + 14 + y = 12

-3y + y + 14 = 12

-2y + 14 = 12

-2y + 14 - 14 = 12 - 14

-2y = -2

-2y/-2 = -2/-2

y = 1

Answer:

y=1

Explanation:

Hey There!

So to solve this type of problem we use inverse operations

-3y+14+y=12

step 1 subtract 14 from each side

14-14

12-14=-2

now we have

-3y+y=-2

step 2 combine like terms

-3y+y=-2y

now we have -2y=-2

step 3 divide each side by -2

-2/-2=1

so we can conclude that y=1
