6y - 5 - 2y = 3y - 11

y = ?

What does y equal?

6y - 5 - 2y = 3y - 11

Simplify both sides of the equation.

6y - 5 - 2y = 3y - 11

4y - 5 = 3y - 11

Subtract 3y from both sides.

4y - 5 - 3y = 3y - 11 - 3y

y-5 = - 11

Add 5 to both sides.

y-5 + 5 = - 11 + 5

y = - 6

Ooh i love these equations ok let's go

subtract 3y from each side

3y-5-2y=-11

y-5=-11

y=-6
