Question

What is the solution to the equation 6y –2(y + 1) = 3(y – 2) + 6? y = –10

Answer 1

(6 x -10) - 2(-10+1) = 3(-10-2) + 6

-60 + 18 = -36 + 6

-42 is not equal to  -30

Sorry it can't be answered. If it is -6 instead of + 6, it would be equal

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is y=2.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given linear equation to be solved is

$6y-2(y+1)=3(y-2)+6.$

Solving a linear equation in an unknown variables means to sfind the value of that unknown variable present in the equation.

Since given equation contains the unknown variable $y$, so we need to find the value of $y.$

The given linear equation can be solved as follows

$6y-2(y+1)=3(y-2)+6\\\\\Rightarrow 6y-2y-2=3y-6+6\\\\\Rightarrow 4y-2=3y\\\\\Rightarrow y=2.$

Thus, the value of $y$ is 2.
