Given the equation:
⅔y - 6 = 6
Solve for y.
Solution:
In order to solve for y, we first transpose -6 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
⅔y - 6 = 6
⅔y = 6 + 6
⅔y = 12
Multiply both sides by 3/2 to cancel out ⅔y.
(3/2)(⅔y) = 12 (3/2)
y = 18
Final answer:
y = 18
