Answer: y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) Simplifying

2 (y + 2) = 6

Step 2) Reorder the terms:

2 (2 + y) = 6

(2 * 2 + y * 2) = 6

(4 + 2y) = 6

Step 3) Solving

4 + 2y = 6

Step 4) Solving for variable 'y'.

Step 5) Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Step 6) Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + - 4 + 2y = 6 + - 4

Step 7) Combine like terms: 4 + - 4 = 0

0 + 2y = 6 + - 4

2y = 6 + - 4

Step 8) Combine like terms: 6 + - 4 = 2

2y = 2

Step 9) Divide each side by '2'.

y = 1

Step 10) implifying

y = 1
