Solve for y. 6y−9y+6=−12 (1 point) Responses y = -6 y = -6 y = 3 y = 3 y = 9 y = 9 y = 6

1 answer

To solve for y, we can combine the like terms on the left side of the equation first:

6y - 9y + 6 = -12

-3y + 6 = -12

Next, we can isolate the term with y by subtracting 6 from both sides:

-3y = -12 - 6

-3y = -18

Finally, we can solve for y by dividing both sides by -3:

y = -18 / -3

y = 6

So, the solution is y = 6.
