Question

Solve for y.
minus, 6, y, minus, 31, equals, 5
−6y−31=
5

Answer 1

To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, add 31 to both sides of the equation:
−6y - 31 + 31 = 5 + 31
−6y = 36

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -6:
(-6y)/-6 = 36/-6
y = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = -6.
