Question

Find the value of y. -6y+14+4y=32

Answer 1

So first subtract 14 from 32

That means that -6y+4y = 18

Simplify the left side 4-6=-2

-2y = 18

Divide by -2

-9 = y

Explanation:

Answer 2

-9

Explanation:

-6y+14+4y=32

Combine like terms

-2y +14 = 32

Subtract 14 from each side

-2y +14-14 = 32-14

-2y =18

Divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = 18/-2

y = -9
