can you help me with this equation and may you please show your work?
-3=3-y
-3=3-y
You want the unknowns on one side and everything else on the other side. Let's move the 3 on the right side to the left side. We can do that by adding -3 to both sides.
-3+(-3)=3+(-3)-y
Remove the parentheses.
-3-3=3-3-y
Now combine terms.
-6=-y
Now multiply both sides by -1 to get rid of the minus signs (we want to know y, not -y).
-1*-6=-1*-y
6=y or if you prefer
y=6
check my work.
thnx
Absolutely! I'd be happy to help you with that equation.
The equation you have is -3 = 3 - y.
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable y. Let's go step by step:
Step 1: Start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the right side:
-3 - 3 = 3 - y - 3
-6 = -y
Step 2: Since the variable term has a negative coefficient, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to make the coefficient positive:
-1 * (-6) = -1 * (-y)
6 = y
So, the solution to the equation is y = 6.
To check this solution, we can substitute y = 6 back into the original equation:
-3 = 3 - 6
-3 = -3
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can conclude that the solution y = 6 is correct.
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
