Question 645681
{{{-12(y+1)+6(3y-6)=5(y-3)+12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-12y-12+18y-36=5y-15+12}}} Distribute.



{{{6y-48=5y-15+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{6y=5y-3+48}}} Add {{{48}}} to both sides.



{{{6y-5y=-3+48}}} Subtract {{{5y}}} from both sides.



{{{y=-3+48}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{y=45}}} Combine like terms on the right side.
