Question

6(5 + 3) = 6 • 5 + 6 • y
what is the value of y?

Answer 1

Here let's do the info we can solve right now :)

6(5+3) = 6*5+6*y
6(8) = 30 + 6*y

Can you tell me what is 6*8?

Answer 2

6*8 is 48

Answer 3

Yes, but please let the asker answer :P

So now we know that 48 = 30 + 6*y

Now we must subtract 30 on both of the equation:)

48 - 30 = 30 - 30 + 6*y

48 - 30 = 6*y

Can you tell me what is 48-30?

Answer 4

so you dont want me to answer it @sammixbib

Answer 5

48-30= 18

Answer 6

I want you to help MathNerdie with the question, but don't answer what I am asking him/her to solve :) I am trying to show him/her step by step how to do this problem and he/she would get the best help if he/she answered it

Answer 7

so it would be 6x18?

Answer 8

Corect! Now we know 18 = 6*y now the last thing we need to do is divide 6 on both sides of the equation

18/6 = 6*y/6
18/6 = y

Can you tell me what is 18/6? Once you figure that out, that is your answer!

Answer 9

No, 18/6 :)

Answer 10

Aka 18 divided by 6

Answer 11

it would be 3?

Answer 12

Yes it is 3... lol @sammixbib You left them... lol

Answer 13

y=3
-6y+18=0
