Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 6(y - 1.5) = 30 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the term with \( y \): \[ y - 1.5 = \frac{30}{6} \] \[ y - 1.5 = 5 \]

2. Add 1.5 to both sides to solve for \( y \): \[ y = 5 + 1.5 \] \[ y = 6.5 \]

Therefore, the value of \( y \) is 6.5.
