Solve : y/6 - 3 = - 11

Provide an explanation

1

Add 33 to both sides

/frac{y}{6}=-11+3 6 y =-11+3

2

Simplify - 11+3-11+3 to - 8-8

/frac{y}{6}=-8 6 y =-8

3

Multiply both sides by 66

y=-8/times 6y=-8*6

4

Simplify 8/times 68*6 to 4848

y=-48y=-48

this part is the checking part of how i got my answer.

/frac{y}{6}-3=-11 6 y -3=-11

1

Let y=-48y=-48

/frac{-48}{6}-3=-11 6 -48 -3=-11

2

Move the negative sign to the left

-/frac{48}{6}-3=-11- 6 48 -3=-11

3

Simplify / frac{48}{6} 6 48 to 88

-8-3=-11-8-3=-11

4

Simplify - 8-3-8-3 to - 11-11

-11=-11-11=-11
