For this case we have the following equation:
[tex]y + 6 = -3y + 26[/tex]
To clear the value of and we have the following steps:
1st step:
We subtract 6 on both sides of the equation:
[tex]y + 6-6 = -3y + 26-6\\y = -3y + 20[/tex]
2nd step:
We subtract "y" from both sides of the equation:
[tex]y-y = -3y-y + 20\\0 = -4y + 20[/tex]
3rd step:
We add [tex]4y[/tex] to both sides of the equation:
[tex]0 + 4y = -4y + 4y + 20\\4y = 20[/tex]
4th step:
We divide between 4 sides of the equation:
[tex]\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{20}{4}\\y = 5[/tex]
Thus, the value of y is 5.
Answer:
[tex]y = 5[/tex]
