Solve for y: 3y + 6 = - 45

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

y = - 17

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

3*y+6 - (-45) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Pulling out like terms:

1.1 Pull out like factors:

3y + 51 = 3 • (y + 17)

Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : y+17 = 0

Subtract 17 from both sides of the equation:

y = - 17

solution was found:

y = - 17
