Y=9

Explanation:

Subtract 6 from both sides. Simplify. Dive both sides of the equation by the same term. Simplify. Solution y=9

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Simplifying

2y + -6 = 12

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2y = 12

Solving

-6 + 2y = 12

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 2y = 12 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 2y = 12 + 6

2y = 12 + 6

Combine like terms: 12 + 6 = 18

2y = 18

Divide each side by '2'.

y = 9

Simplifying

y = 9
