Answer 1

what is -3+Y -(-6)=23

Answer 2

What do you think the answer is? What happens when we subtract a negative number?

Answer 3

it changes to a positive?

Answer 4

so it would change to 3+Y-6=23

Answer 5

wouldnt it end up being Y=20??

Answer 6

because the 6 would end up being a positive and switching to the other side and becoming a negative again the you also switch the 3 to the other side and it become a negative

Answer 7

It does change to a positive, so our first step takes us from
\(-3+y-(-6)=23\)
To: \(-3+y+6=23\)

You had a few incorrect signs in yours. What would you do next?
