Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We must solve y in the following equation.
y + 6 = –3y + 26
We'll try to get the terms with y on the left and the independent terms on the right by performing the opposite operation on both sides of the equation:
y + 6 -6 = –3y + 26 -6
y = -3y + 20
y +3y = -3y +20 +3y
4y = 20
Now lets isolate the y, always by performing the opposite operation on both sides of the equation:
4y /4 = 20 /4
y = 5
