Solve 2y/-2=-6+y/16

$$\frac{ 2y }{ -2 } = \frac{ -6+y }{ 16 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{6}{17}\approx 0.352941176$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 16, the least common multiple of -2,16.

$$-8\times 2y=-6+y$$

Multiply -8 and 2 to get -16.

$$-16y=-6+y$$

Subtract y from both sides.

$$-16y-y=-6$$

Combine -16y and -y to get -17y.

$$-17y=-6$$

Divide both sides by -17.

$$y=\frac{-6}{-17}$$

Fraction \frac{-6}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{6}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$y=\frac{6}{17}$$
