+4473 y -5y+3(y+6)=32
Our goal is to get one term with "y" on one side and a number on the other side:
First, distribute the 3 by multiplying it to both 'y' and '6': y - 5y + 3y + 18 = 32.
Second, combine like terms (the terms with "y") and subtract 18 from both sides to get a number on the right side:
(1)y - 5y + 3y = -1y = -y
32 - 18 = 14
Therefore, we have -y = 14 --> divide both sides by "-1" to obtain y = -14.
Do a check to see if the equation makes sense.
y -5y+3(y+6)=32; plug in y = -14:
-14 - 5(-14) + 3(-14 + 6) = 32 -->
-14 + 70 +3(-8) = 32 -->
56 - 24 = 32 -->
32 = 32 --> Yes.
