Question

2(3y - 6) = 42 Please help thanks :)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(3y - 6) = 42

Step 2: Solve for y

1. Distribute 2: 6y - 12 = 42
2. Add 12 to both sides: 6y = 54
3. Divide both sides by 6: y = 9

Answer 2

Answer:

y= 9.1666

Step-by-step explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

2(3y-6)-(43)=0

We multiply parentheses

6y-12-43=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6y-55=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

6y=55

y=55/6

y= 9.1666(repeating)
