Question

Identifying the second step solving this equation for y -3 ( y + 6 ) = 21

Answer 1

Pick one of the answers
Subtract six from both sides
Had six to both sides
Divide both sides by -3
Divide both sides by six

Answer 2

The second step in solving the equation -3(y + 6) = 21 is to simplify the expression -3(y + 6).

Using the distributive property, we multiply -3 by both terms inside the parentheses:

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

This simplifies to:

-3y - 18 = 21

Answer 3

The second step would be to add 18 to both sides
