Solve the equation-5y-9=(y-1) answers are-1/2, -21/2, -2, ,2/4
-5y - 9 = y - 1
-5y - y - 9 = -1
-6y - 9 + 9 = - 1 + 9
-6y = 8
-6y/-6 = 8/-6
y = -4/3
Are you sure you have the right equation? If the equation said:
5y + 9 = (y + 1), y would equal -2
5y - y + 9 = 1
4y + 9 - 9 = 1 - 9
4y = -8
4y/4 = -8/4
y = -2
To solve the equation -5y - 9 = y - 1, we need to simplify and isolate the variable y on one side.
First, let's simplify the equation by collecting like terms. We can start by moving all the terms with y to one side of the equation and all the constant terms to the other side:
-5y - y = 1 - 9
Combining the y terms on the left side and the constant terms on the right side:
-6y = -8
Next, we want to isolate the variable y by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:
(-6y)/(-6) = (-8)/(-6)
Simplifying further:
y = 4/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation -5y - 9 = y - 1 is y = 4/3.
