Answer/ Step-by-step explanation:

4y - 3 = 6y - 15

-4y -4y Subtract 4y on both sides

-3 = 2y - 15

+15 +15 Add 15 on both sides

12 = 2y

/2 /2 Divide by 2

6 = y

Answer:4y - 3 = 6y - 15

Explanation:

given this equation,

rearrange like terms:

4y - 6y = -15+3

(remember: when a sign crosses the equality mark, the sign changes example; - changes to + and + changes to minus)

-2y = -12

to make y subject of the formular,

divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2y = -12/-2y

y = -12/-2

y = 6

therefore,

y = 6
