Solve for y: Solve the first equation for y.The first equation is 6=2(y+2). To solve for y, we first need to divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the term with y.6÷2=2(y+2)÷23=y+2
Subtract to find y: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.To find the value of y, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.3−2=y+2−21=y
Check solution: Check the solution in the second equation.The second equation is simply y=, which indicates that y can be any value. Since we have found y=1 from the first equation, it satisfies the second equation.
