Solve for y 3(y+6)=30

$3 (y + 6) = 30$

Step 1

Divide each term in $3 (y + 6) = 30$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 (y + 6) = 30$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 (y + 6)}{3} = \frac{30}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (y + 6)}{3} = \frac{30}{3}$

Divide $y + 6$ by $1$ .

$y + 6 = \frac{30}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $30$ by $3$ .

$y + 6 = 10$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 10 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $10$ .

$y = 4$
