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
