Answer:

y = 9

Explanation:

Well first things first. We have to get our variables on one side so we can set up the equation like this 54 + 5y - 5y = 11y - 5y.

After you do that you will be left with 54 = 6y, so now you can solve.

In order to solve we have to see if we have to undo any addition or subtraction. We don't, so we can look to see if we have to undo multiplication or division, we do. We can set up are new equation like this:

54/6 = 6y/6.

After you solve that you get 9 = y and that is how you get your answer.

y = 9
