6%28y%2B1%29=18%28y-5%29 Start with the given equation.


6y%2B6=18y-90 Distribute.


6y=18y-90-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


6y-18y=-90-6 Subtract 18y from both sides.


-12y=-90-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-12y=-96 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-96%29%2F%28-12%29 Divide both sides by -12 to isolate y.


y=8 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is y=8
