Question

What is the problem 6y+2(3y-5)= -34

Answer 1

Answer:

y=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6y+2(3y−5)=−34

6y+(2)(3y)+(2)(−5)=−34(Distribute)

6y+6y+−10=−34

(6y+6y)+(−10)=−34(Combine Like Terms)

12y+−10=−34

12y−10=−34

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.

12y−10+10=−34+10

12y=−24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

$\frac{12y}{12}$ = $\frac{-24}{12}$

y=−2
