What is the anwser to y + 5y = 90?

y + 5y = 90

6y = 90
y = ?

Divide each side by 6 and you get your answer.

thanks!!

Thanks, Emily. Good work.

To find the answer to the equation y + 5y = 90, we need to combine like terms and then solve for y.

First, let's combine the terms on the left side of the equation. Since y and 5y are like terms (they both have the variable y), we can add them together. This gives us:

6y = 90

Now we have a new equation, 6y = 90. To find the value of y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:

(6y)/6 = 90/6
y = 15

So the answer to the equation y + 5y = 90 is y = 15.
