Question

6y – 6 = 4y + 16

Answer 1

First, you need get the like terms on the right side. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

6y-4y-6=4y+16

Answer 3

Okay, so 6y-4y-6 = 4y-4y+16

Whatever you do with one side you must do to the other. So now you have:
2y-6=16

Answer 4

Ok I get that but then I get confused so now do I have to substract 6y from each side?

Answer 5

Sorry to interupt but Butterfly16 you are doing so great anwering all of the question

Answer 6

s

Answer 7

Only one of them, you're trying to get the like terms on the same side so that you can start solving for y.

Thank you @zooereneeholmgren616

Answer 8

Correction @zoereneeholmgren616

Answer 9

So now if you have 2y-6=16, your solving for y now. So, we're going to add 6 to both sides. This will cancel out the 6 in the left side.

2y=22

Answer 10

So do I divide by 2y now?

Answer 11

and y is 11?

Answer 12

Just by 2, and yes, you got it! Great work! :o)

2y=22
/2 /2

y=11

Answer 13
