ALEGERBRAIC EQUATION

72=6y
step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solving

72 = 6y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.

72 + -6y = 6y + -6y

Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0

72 + -6y = 0

Add '-72' to each side of the equation.

72 + -72 + -6y = 0 + -72

Combine like terms: 72 + -72 = 0

0 + -6y = 0 + -72

-6y = 0 + -72

Combine like terms: 0 + -72 = -72

-6y = -72

Divide each side by '-6'.

y = 12

Simplifying

y = 12
