Question

3(y-2)=18 3y-____=18 3y=____

Answer 1

3(y-2)=18
3y-6=18
3y-6+6=18+6( Since 6 is negative and we want to get rid of 6 so we do +6-6        3y=24          which is 0 to get rid of -6 and add +6 to 18 to other side.)

I hope it may help you
thank you.

Answer 2

Greetings!

3(y-2)=18
Distribute the Parenthesis (3*y+3*-2).
3y-6=18
To Isolate the variable, we have to add/subtract any unlike terms.
3y=24

To solve for y.
$3y=24$
Divide both sides by 3.
$(3y)/3=(24)/3$
The Answer Is:
$y=8$

Hope this helps.
