3(y+6)=30

1. Multiply 3*y= 3y
2. Multiply 3*6=18
3. You now have 3y + 18 =30
4. Move 18 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 3y=30-18
5. 3y=30-18 or 3y=12
6. Divide both sides by 3: 3y/3=y and 12/3=4
7. Hence y=4

To check 3(4+6)=30 or 3(10)=30...Show more

3(y+6)=30
3y + 3*6 =30
3y + 18 =30
3y +18 -18 =30 - 18
3y = 12
3y/3=12/3
y=4...Show more

First , multiple 3 into the bracket just like this answer : 3y+18=30. Then , let 18 go behind to 30 like this : 3y=30-18 . Lastly , 3y=12 , y=4...Show more

okay, you need to find out what y is. 4+6=10, 10*3=30 so y is 4...Show more
