Answer 1

y = 11

Explanation:

-5y + 12y + 9 = 4y + 42

Add like terms on the left side, -5y + 12y.

7y + 9 = 4y + 42

Subtract 4y from both sides.

3y + 9 = 42

Subtract 9 from both sides.

3y = 33

Divide both sides by 3.

y = 11

Answer 2

Answer: y = 11

Explanation:

first, i collected the like terms.

7y + 9 = 4y + 42

then, i moved the terms.

7y - 4y + 42 - 9

then, i collected the like terms and calculated it.

3y - 33

finally, i divided both sides.

y = 11
