Question

Solve for the variable : 5y+6=3(y+4)

Answer 1

Y=3

Explanation:

You would want to multiply y and 4 by 3.

5y+6=3(y+4)

×3 ×3

5y+6=3y+12

Now you want to have y by itself. You can first subtract 6 for starters.

5y+6=3y+12

-6 -6

5y=3y+6

5y=3y+6

-3y -3y

2y=6

Now you would want to divide.

2y=6

÷2 ÷2

y=3

You're answer would be y=3.
