Q. 6=2(y+2)What is the value of y in the equation shown?
Write Equation: Write down the equation given in the problem.6=2(y+2)
Isolate y: To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Start by dividing both sides of the equation by 2 to undo the multiplication by 2. 6÷2=2(y+2)÷2
Divide by 2: Perform the division on both sides.3=y+2
Subtract 2: Now, subtract 2 from both sides to solve for y.3−2=y+2−2
Simplify and Solve: Simplify both sides of the equation to find the value of y.1=y
