Question

2y-6=3y+5
find the value of y

​

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{y=-11}}`

Explanation:

GIVEN:

To find the value of y, isolate it on one side of the equation.

2y-6-3y+5

Solutions:

First, add by 6 from both sides.

2y-6+6=3y+5+6

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

5+6=11

2y=3y+11

Then, you subtract by 3y from both sides.

2y-3y=3y+11-3y

Solve.

-y=11

Divide by -1 from both sides.

-y/-1=11/-1

Solve.

Divide these numbers goes from left to right.

11/-1=-11

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{y=-11}}`

• Therefore, the final answer is y=-11.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
