Simplify Equation: We start by simplifying both sides of the equation.On the right side, we subtract 9 from 15.15−9=6So the equation becomes:3y+9=6
Isolate y Term: Next, we need to isolate the term with y on one side of the equation. We do this by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation. 3y+9−9=6−9 This simplifies to: 3y=−3
Divide to Solve for y: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for y.33y=3−3This gives us:y=−1
