Question

What is the value of y in the equation 6 + y = −3? (1 point) Group of answer choices −3 −9 3 9

Answer 1

y=-9

Solution:

• First, subtract 6 from both sides.
• 6+y=-3
• Or
• y+6=-3
• Why subtract? Because 6 is added to y, and we need to use the opposite operation. Remember, our goal is to find the value of y.
• Subtract:
• y=-3-6
• y=-9
• We have found the value of y; it's equivalent to -9.
