Question

Solve the equation. y + 6 = –3y + 26

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the equation y + 6 = -3y + 26

y + 6 + 3y = -3y + 3y + 26 (addition of 3y on both the sides)

4y + 6 = 26

4y + 6 - 6 = 26 - 6 ( subtraction of 6 on both the sides)

4y = 20

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{20}{5}$ (division by 4 on both the sides)

y = 5

Therefore answer is y = 5.

Answer 2

     y + 6 = -3y + 26
+ 3y        + 3y 
   4y + 6 = 26
         - 6   - 6
         4y = 20
          4      4
           y = 5
