Question

What is the solution to the equation 6y –2(y + 1) = 3(y – 2) + 6?

y = –10
y = –2
y = 2
y = 6

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

`6y-2(y+1)=3(y-2)+6\\\\6y-2y-2=3y-6+6\\\\4y-2=3y\\\\4y-2=3y\\\\4y-2+2=3y+2\\\\4y=3y+2\\\\4y-3y=3y-3y+2\\\\\boxed{y=2}`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

6y –2(y + 1) = 3(y – 2) + 6?

The answer is y = 2 (the third option.)
