Question 153405: Solve the equation |y-6|+2y=9
So far, I have:
y-6=-(9-2y)
y-6=-9+2y
-y=-3
y=3
I tested that, and it is correct. Am I on the right track, and/or is there another answer? How do I find this additional answer?
Also - Graph the equation y=|x+4| + |3-x|
I know how to graph, but I am not quite sure how to start off. Many thanks if you can simplify it.

Question 154544: Remember to isolate the absolute value.
|x | = 6

|3x + 2| = 14

- 5| x + 1| = -10

|x - 2| + 10 = 12

|x| = - 5

|2x + 6| - 4 = 20

6 - 3|2x + 6| = 0

10 - |x + 2| = 12
