Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5-3*y-(6)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -1 - 3y  =   -1 • (3y + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    -3y-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -3y = 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  3y = -1


Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
                     y = -1/3 = -0.333
