Given the equation:
2(3y - 6)
Determine the value of y.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of y, we distribute first 2 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= 2 (3y - 6)
= 6y - 12
Transpose -12 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
6y = 12
Divide both sides by 6 in order to determine the value of y.
6y/6 = 12/6
y =2
Final answer:
y = 2
