Simplifying 3 = -1(-1y + 6) Reorder the terms: 3 = -1(6 + -1y) 3 = (6 * -1 + -1y * -1) 3 = (-6 + 1y) Solving 3 = -6 + 1y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1y' to each side of the equation. 3 + -1y = -6 + 1y + -1y Combine like terms: 1y + -1y = 0 3 + -1y = -6 + 0 3 + -1y = -6 Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -1y = -6 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -1y = -6 + -3 -1y = -6 + -3 Combine like terms: -6 + -3 = -9 -1y = -9 Divide each side by '-1'. y = 9 Simplifying y = 9
