To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( 6(y - 1.5) = 30 \), follow these steps:
-
Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the term with \( y \): \[ y - 1.5 = \frac{30}{6} \] \[ y - 1.5 = 5 \]
-
Add 1.5 to both sides to solve for \( y \): \[ y = 5 + 1.5 \] \[ y = 6.5 \]
So, the value of \( y \) is \( 6.5 \).
