Question

How do I solve -1/3y-6=-11

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3y - 6 = -11

-1/3y - 6 + 6 = -11 + 6

-1/3y = -5

-1/3y * 3y = -5 * 3y

-1 = -15y

-1 / -15 = -15y / -15y

y = 1/15

Answer 2

For this case we must solve the following equation:

$- \frac {1} {3}y-6 = -11$

We add 6 to both sides of the equation:

$- \frac {1} {3} y = -11 + 6\\- \frac {1} {3} y = -5$

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

$-y = 3 * (- 5)\\-y = -15$

Finally we have:

$y = 15$

Answer:

$y = 15$
