y = -6
y = -6

y = 3
y = 3

y = 9
y = 9

y = 6

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 6y - 9y + 6 = -12 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Combine the terms on the left side of the equation: \[ 6y - 9y = -3y \] So, the equation becomes: \[ -3y + 6 = -12 \]

2. Next, isolate the term with \( y \) by subtracting 6 from both sides: \[ -3y = -12 - 6 \] \[ -3y = -18 \]

3. Now, divide both sides by -3: \[ y = \frac{-18}{-3} = 6 \]

Thus, the solution is \( y = 6 \).

So, the answer is: y = 6.
