Question 52516
Solve:
{{{y/6 = y+5}}} Multiply both side by 6.
{{{6(y/6) = 6(y+5)}}} Simplify.
{{{y = 6y + 30}}} The 6's on the left side cancel, leaving just y. Subtract 30 from both sides of the equation.
{{{y-30 = 6y}}} Subtract y from both sides.
{{{-30 = 5y}}} Divide both sides by 5.
{{{-6 = y}}} or {{{y = -6}}}
