Question 350427
{{{6(y+1)=18(y-5)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6y+6=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=(-96)/(-12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-12}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=8}}}
