Answer 1

Answer:

The value of y after the given equation is simplified will be y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings !

$6(y -9) = 3y-36...the \: given \: expression \\ 6y - 54 = 3y - 36...apply \: the \: distributive \: law \: a(b - c) = ab - ac \\ 6y - 54 + 54 = 3y - 36 + 54...add \: both \: sides \: 54 \\ 6y = 3y + 18 \\6y - 3y = 3y + 18 - 3y...subtract \: 3y \: from \: both \: sides \\ 3y = 18 \\ \frac{3y}{3} = \frac{18}{3} ...divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3 \\ y = 6...simplified$
