-12%28y%2B1%29%2B6%283y-6%29=5%28y-3%29%2B12 Start with the given equation.


-12y-12%2B18y-36=5y-15%2B12 Distribute.


6y-48=5y-15%2B12 Combine like terms on the left side.


6y-48=5y-3 Combine like terms on the right side.


6y=5y-3%2B48 Add 48 to both sides.


6y-5y=-3%2B48 Subtract 5y from both sides.


y=-3%2B48 Combine like terms on the left side.


y=45 Combine like terms on the right side.
