Answer 2

Answer:

$y = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 6 from both sides.

$- 2y = - 12 - 6$

2) Simplify -12-6 to -18.

$- 2y = - 18$

3) Divide both sides by -2.

$y = \frac{ - 18}{ - 2}$

4) Two negative makes a positive.

$y = \frac{18}{2}$

5) Simplify 18/2 to 9.

$y = 9$

So, Yherefor, the answer is, y = 9.
