-3y+6=-3(2y+3)

1 answer

First, distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-3(2y + 3) = -6y - 9

Now, we can rewrite the equation:

-3y + 6 = -6y - 9

To solve for y, we will isolate the y term on one side of the equation. Let's start by adding 6y to both sides of the equation:

-3y + 6y + 6 = -6y + 6y - 9

This simplifies to:

3y + 6 = -9

Next, we want to isolate the y term, so let's subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

3y + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6

This simplifies to:

3y = -15

Finally, to solve for y, divide both sides of the equation by 3:

(3y)/3 = -15/3

This simplifies to:

y = -5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = -5.
