The value of y in the given equation y + 6 = –3y + 26 would be equal to 5.
A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1. The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.
We have given the equation,
y + 6 = –3y + 26
We subtract 6 on both sides of the equation
y + 6 -6 = –3y + 26 -6
y = -3y +20
y + 3y = 20
4y = 20
We divide between 4 sides of the equation:
4y = 20
y = 20/4
y = 5
Thus, the value of y is 5.
