What is the value of 𝑦 in the equation below? 6(𝑦 ― 1.5) = 30 (1 point) Responses 181.5 181.5 6.5 6.5 4.75 4.75 3.5

Answer 1

To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( 6(y - 1.5) = 30 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the term with \( y \): \[ y - 1.5 = \frac{30}{6} \] \[ y - 1.5 = 5 \]

2. Add 1.5 to both sides to solve for \( y \): \[ y = 5 + 1.5 \] \[ y = 6.5 \]

So, the value of \( y \) is \( 6.5 \).
