Question

Identify the value of y
(5y-6) = (2y×9)-32

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

`\fbox{5y−6=2y(9)−32}`

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

`\fbox{5y−6=2y(9)−32}`

`\fbox{5y+−6=18y+−32}`

`\fbox{5y−6=18y−32}`

Step 2: Subtract 18y from both sides.

`\fbox{5y−6−18y=18y−32−18y}`

`\fbox{−13y−6=−32}`

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

`\fbox{−13y−6+6=−32+6}`

`\fbox{−13y=−26}`

Step 4: Divide both sides by -13.

`\fbox{−13y/−13 = −26/−13}`

`\fbox{y=2}`

Answer:

`\fbox{y=\fbox{2}}`
