Hey there! :)

Find the value of y when x=1 : 9x + 7y = -12

To find the value of y, simply plug in 1 for x in our given equation.

9(1) + 7y = -12

Simplify!

9 + 7y = -12

Subtract 9 from both sides so that we can isolate y.

7y = -12 - 9

Simplify.

7y = -21

Now, divide both sides by 7 to fully isolate y.

7y ÷ 7 = -21 ÷ 7

Simplify!

y = -3

~hope I helped!~
