You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(y - 6) = 3y + 12 - y
\n" ); document.write( "*
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 2 into the y and -6 by multiplying it by each of them individually: 2y - 12 = 3y + 12 - y
\n" ); document.write( "*
\n" ); document.write( "Combine the 3y and -y: 2y - 12 = 2y + 12
\n" ); document.write( "*
\n" ); document.write( "Add 12 to both sides: 2y = 2y + 24
\n" ); document.write( "*
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2y from both sides: 0 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "*
\n" ); document.write( "This is false (0 does not equal 24!), so there is NO SOLUTION to this problem. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
