y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
from both sides of the equation

-2y+6=-12−2y+6=−12
−2+6−6=−12−6
-2y+6
−2y+6−6=−12−6

Simplify
Subtract the numbers
Subtract the numbers
−2=−18
-2y=-18−2y=−18
3
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
−2=−18
-2y=-18−2y=−18
−2−2=−18−2
-2−2−2y=−2−18
4
Simplify
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
Divide the numbers
=9
