To solve for y, we can start by distributing the 6 to the terms inside the parentheses:
6y - 9 = 30
Next, we can isolate the variable y by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
6y - 9 + 9 = 30 + 9
This simplifies to:
6y = 39
To solve for y, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:
(6y)/6 = 39/6
Simplifying further gives:
y = 6.5
Therefore, the value of y is 6.5.
What is the value of y in the equation below?
6(y - 1.5) = 30

To rent a car you need to pay a flat fee plus $0.20 for each mile that you drive. Which equation could be used to solve for the price of the initial fee if the total cost of a rental was $60 when the car was driven 40 miles? (2 points)
O 60 + 0.2(40) = x
O 0.2x + 40 = 60
O 0.2(60) + × = 40
O × + 0.2(40) = 60
O 60 + 0.2(40) = x
O 0.2x + 40 = 60
O 0.2(60) + × = 40
O × + 0.2(40) = 60
The equation that could be used to solve for the price of the initial fee is:
O 0.2x + 40 = 60
O 0.2x + 40 = 60
