Question

solve for y.
-3y + 12y + 6 = 7y + 30
simplify your answer as much as possible.
y =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms on left

$-3y + 12y = 9y$, so equation becomes $9y + 6 = 7y + 30$.

Step2: Subtract \(7y\) from both sides

$9y - 7y + 6 = 30$ → $2y + 6 = 30$.

Step3: Subtract 6 from both sides

$2y = 30 - 6$ → $2y = 24$.

Step4: Divide by 2

$y = \frac{24}{2} = 12$.

Answer:

\( y = 12 \)
