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