What is the value of y in the equation 2(3y + 6 + 3) = 196 − 16?
27
29
30
33

Step 1: Simplify using distributive property, and other methods needed
2(3y+6+3)=196−16      6y+18=180
Step 2: Subtract 18 from both sides.
   6y+18=180   
         -18   -18  
      6y=162
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
   6y/6=162/6

y=27

The length is 23 and y because you add them together
