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 $6.5$.
