Answer:
[tex]y = 9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Subtract 6 from both sides.
[tex] - 2y = - 12 - 6[/tex]
2) Simplify -12-6 to -18.
[tex] - 2y = - 18[/tex]
3) Divide both sides by -2.
[tex]y = \frac{ - 18}{ - 2} [/tex]
4) Two negative makes a positive.
[tex]y = \frac{18}{2} [/tex]
5) Simplify 18/2 to 9.
[tex]y = 9[/tex]
So, Yherefor, the answer is, y = 9.
