To find the value of 𝑦, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
6(𝑦 - 1.5) = 30
To simplify the equation, we can distribute 6 to 𝑦 and -1.5:
6𝑦 - 9 = 30
Next, we can isolate 𝑦 by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
6𝑦 = 39
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for 𝑦:
𝑦 = 39/6
𝑦 simplifies to 6.5.
Therefore, the value of 𝑦 in the equation is 6.5.
