Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

y=6
y=-6

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

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

                     -6*y-31-(5)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -6y - 36  =   -6 • (y + 6) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    -6   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    y+6 = 0 

 
Subtract  6  from both sides of the equation : 
 
                     y = -6

One solution was found :

                   y = -6
