Question

Identify the value of y (5y-6) = (2y×9)-32

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

$\fbox{5y−6=2y(9)−32}$

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$\fbox{5y−6=2y(9)−32}$

$\fbox{5y+−6=18y+−32}$

$\fbox{5y−6=18y−32}$

Step 2: Subtract 18y from both sides.

$\fbox{5y−6−18y=18y−32−18y}$

$\fbox{−13y−6=−32}$

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

$\fbox{−13y−6+6=−32+6}$

$\fbox{−13y=−26}$

Step 4: Divide both sides by -13.

$\fbox{−13y/−13 = −26/−13}$

$\fbox{y=2}$

Answer:

$\fbox{y=\fbox{2}}$
