Algebra.Com's Answer #169360 by JenniferTutors(83)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! In this equation, you would get y by itself.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-y+3 = x-6y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the \"-y\" to the other side of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+3 = x-6y+y \n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+3 = x-5y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, make y by itself by subtracting the \"x\" to the other side of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-x+3 = -5y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now combine like terms.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+3 = -5y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, take the \"-5\" and divide it into itself and the other side of the equation.
