6=2 (y+2) solve for y

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6=2 (y+2) distribute your first 2 outside of the (_)

6 = 2y+4 then subtract 4 from both sides

Then you will have 2 = 2y divide both sides by the 2 from 2y

After you have 1=y

Plug the new y value back in and you will have

2 (1+2) = (_) always goes first so you will have 3

2 (3) when you have a number beside of a (_) you multiple and receive the answer that this equals 6 to check yourself

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6=2 (y+2)

y+2=3

y=1
