Question

$$6(y-1)=5(y+1)$$

Solve for y

$y=11$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $6$ by $y-1$.

$$6y-6=5\left(y+1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $y+1$.

$$6y-6=5y+5$$

Subtract $5y$ from both sides.

$$6y-6-5y=5$$

Combine $6y$ and $-5y$ to get $y$.

$$y-6=5$$

Add $6$ to both sides.

$$y=5+6$$

Add $5$ and $6$ to get $11$.

$$y=11$$
