Question

Solve this equation:
3y-4=6 -2y

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

Rearrange terms

3y -4 = -2y +6

Add 4 to both side

3y -4 +4 = -2y +6+4

Simplify

3y = -2y + 10

Add 2y to both sides

3y +2y = -2y + 10 +2y

Simplify

5y = 10

Divide both sides by the same factor

5y/5 = 10/5

Simplify

y = 2

Answer 2

y = 2

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Add\:}4\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}`

`3y-4+4=6-2y+4`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`3y=-2y+10`

`\mathrm{Add\:}2y\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}`

`3y+2y=-2y+10+2y`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`5y=10`

`\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5`

`(5y)/(5)=(10)/(5)`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

y = 2
