Simplify and solve the linear equation: 15(y - 4) - 2(y - 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0

Solution:

We will be applying distributive property and then transpose variables to one side and constants to another side to form a linear equation.

15(y - 4) - 2(y - 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0

⇒ 15y - 60 - 2y + 18 + 5y + 30 = 0 [Using distributive property]

⇒ 18y - 12 = 0

⇒ 18y = 12

Hence,

y = 12/18

y = 2/3
