If-9(y-13) = 16, then y=​

Sagot :

Hi there,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

[tex]-9 (y-13) = 16[/tex]

This is called a linear equation. Let's distribute:

[tex]-9y + 117 = 16[/tex]

Now we need to subtract 117 from both sides

[tex]-9y +117-117=16-117[/tex]

[tex]-9y = -101[/tex]

Now divide both sides by -9

[tex]\frac{-9y}{-9} = \frac{-101}{-9}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{101}{9}[/tex]

Happy to help! All the best this semester!
