2(y-3)-6=-5(-4y+6)-6y
Since y is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.
-5(-4y+6)-6y=2(y-3)-6
Simplify each term.
Apply the distributive property.
-5(-4y)-5⋅6-6y=2(y-3)-6
Multiply -4 by -5.
20y-5⋅6-6y=2(y-3)-6
Multiply -5 by 6.
20y-30-6y=2(y-3)-6
20y-30-6y=2(y-3)-6
Subtract 6y from 20y.
14y-30=2(y-3)-6
14y-30=2(y-3)-6
Simplify each term.
Apply the distributive property.
14y-30=2y+2⋅-3-6
Multiply 2 by -3.
14y-30=2y-6-6
14y-30=2y-6-6
Subtract 6 from -6.
14y-30=2y-12
14y-30=2y-12
Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation.
14y-30-2y=-12
Subtract 2y from 14y.
12y-30=-12
12y-30=-12
Add 30 to both sides of the equation.
12y=-12+30
Add -12 and 30.
12y=18
12y=18
Divide each term in 12y=18 by 12.
12y12=1812
