Question

6y + 4 – 3y = -5 + y + 17

Answer 1

y = 4

Explanation:

6y + 4 - 3y = -5 + y + 17

First, we have to combine like terms on each side of the equation:

3y + 4 = y + 12

Then, we have to combine the terms from both sides of the equation:

3y + 4 = y + 12

-4 -4

3y = y + 8

-y -y

2y = 8

Then, we divide so we only have y on the left side:

2y = 8

/2 /2

y = 4

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

6y+4-3y=-5+y+17

6y-3y-y= -5+17-4

2y=8

y=4
