Question

$$(26-y) \div 2-1=6$$

Solve for y

$y=12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$26-y-2=12$$

Subtract $2$ from $26$ to get $24$.

$$24-y=12$$

Subtract $24$ from both sides.

$$-y=12-24$$

Subtract $24$ from $12$ to get $-12$.

$$-y=-12$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$y=12$$
