Question

Identify the value of y.
9y+6 = 3y+3+7+26

Answer 1

y=5

Explanation:

9y+6 = 3y+3+7+26

arrange the equation so all values with y are on one side, and all regular numbers are on the other side. Make sure you change the sign when changing sides.

9y - 3y = 3 + 7 + 26 -6

6y / 6 = 30 / 6

Now divide both sides by 6 in order for y to be alone.

y = 5
