Solve y-3+6y-9+12y-15=y

$$y - 3 + 6 y - 9 + 12 y - 15 = y$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine y and 6y to get 7y.

$$7y-3-9+12y-15=y$$

Subtract 9 from -3 to get -12.

$$7y-12+12y-15=y$$

Combine 7y and 12y to get 19y.

$$19y-12-15=y$$

Subtract 15 from -12 to get -27.

$$19y-27=y$$

Subtract y from both sides.

$$19y-27-y=0$$

Combine 19y and -y to get 18y.

$$18y-27=0$$

Add 27 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$18y=27$$

Divide both sides by 18.

$$y=\frac{27}{18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{27}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.

$$y=\frac{3}{2}$$
