Question

Solve for y 2(3 + 3y) + y = 11

Answer 1

EQUATION

Exercise

2(3 + 3y) + y = 11

First, apply the distributive property:

2(3 + 3y) + y = 11

6 + 6y + y = 11

6 + 7y = 11

Substract 6 from both sides:

6 - 6 + 7y = 11 - 6

7y = 5

Divide both sides by 7:

$\dfrac{7y}{7} = \dfrac{5}{7}$

$\boxed{y = \dfrac{5}{7}}$

Answer. The value of y = 5/7.
