Question

identify the second step in solving this equation for y: -3(y + 6) = 21. (1 point)
divide both sides by -3.
add 6 to both sides.
divide both sides by 6.
subtract 6 from both sides.

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -3

$-3y-18 = 21$

Step2: Add 18 to both sides

$-3y=21 + 18$

Answer:

None of the given options are correct. The second step should be to add 18 to both sides.
