Using the distributive property, start outside of the parenthesis. Divide all information between parenthesis by 6. 6 y + 6 5 = 54 . This will give you 6 y + 30 = 54 . Then subtract 30 from both sides. 6 y + 30 - 30 = 54 - 30 . This will give you 6 y = 24 . The last step is to divide both sides by 6. This will give you the answer of y = 4

Expanding the bracket to obtain the actual equation is always the first step when using brackets in algebra.
6 × y = 6 y
6 × 5 = 30
By taking out the brackets and the previous values and replacing them with these new values, we obtain...
6 y + 30 = 54
We must eliminate the extra constant because, in order to solve for y, we want y alone (in this instance 30). Remember what we want to do to one side, we have to do to another, so take away 30 from both sides leaving us with...
6 y = 24 As we do not want 6y, we want y or 1y on its own, we divide the value of what y is worth by the certain number of y's, x's, z's, or similar that we have to find y...
y = 24 6
As this actually equals an integer (as 6 can be divided by 24), we simplify, if it does not it is fine to leave it as a fraction, or you can turn it to a decimal.
24 6 = 4
Therefore:
y = 4
