Responses

y = -6
y = -6

y = 3
y = 3

y = 9
y = 9

y = 6

Answer 1

To solve for y, we need to simplify the expression on the left side of the equation:

6y - 9y + 6 = -12

Combine like terms:

-3y + 6 = -12

Now, isolate the variable by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

-3y = -18

Divide both sides of the equation by -3:

y = 6

Therefore, the solution is y = 6.
