Answer
y=0
Work Step by Step
5y + -3(y + -2) = 6(y + 1)
Reorder the terms:
5y + -3(-2 + y) = 6(y + 1)
5y + (-2 * -3 + y * -3) = 6(y + 1)
5y + (6 + -3y) = 6(y + 1)
Reorder the terms:
6 + 5y + -3y = 6(y + 1)
Combine like terms: 5y + -3y = 2y
6 + 2y = 6(y + 1)
Reorder the terms:
6 + 2y = 6(1 + y)
6 + 2y = (1 * 6 + y * 6)
6 + 2y = (6 + 6y)
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 2y = 6 + -6 + 6y
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 2y = 6 + -6 + 6y
2y = 6 + -6 + 6y
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
2y = 0 + 6y
2y = 6y
Solving
2y = 6y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
2y + -6y = 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 2y + -6y = -4y
-4y = 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
-4y = 0
Divide each side by '-4'.
y = 0
Simplifying
y = 0
