Simplifying 3y = 36 + 9y Solving 3y = 36 + 9y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9y' to each side of the equation. 3y + -9y = 36 + 9y + -9y Combine like terms: 3y + -9y = -6y -6y = 36 + 9y + -9y Combine like terms: 9y + -9y = 0 -6y = 36 + 0 -6y = 36 Divide each side by '-6'. y = -6 Simplifying y = -6

The answer is Y= -6

@Vampirelove28 do it this way 3y + 36= 9y -3y -3y 36 = 6y ÷6 ÷6 6 = y
