Question

how to solve -2y-12=6y+36

Answer 1

First try to isolate like terms on left side & all other on right hand side
that is move 6y to left hand side by subtracting 6y from both sides
& move -12 to right hand side by adding 12 to both sides,
So what do you get ?

Answer 2

Yes, to factor both sides completely.

Answer 3

-8y+24?

Answer 4

Please check it at left side we get -8y 7 right hand side 36+12

Answer 5

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf-2y-12=6y+36 }\)
\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf-2(y+6)=6(y+6) }\) so what do you think now ?

Answer 6

@tgawade, you didn't ask the question, so let the asker do it. Also you are not correct.

Now, @nickymail48 , based on what I posted can you come up with the correct answer?

Answer 8

We have -2y - 12 = 6y + 36
So first we isolate like terms to left hand side
to move 6y to left hand side we subtract 6y from both sides so we get
-2y -6y -12 = 6y - 6y +36
therefore -8y -12 = 36 now to move -12 to right hand side we add12 on both sides -8y -12 + 12 = 36 + 12
-8y = 48
now to get rid of -8 from left side we divide both sides by -8
so we will get -8y/-8 = 48/-8

y = -6
