y = 5

substitute x = 6 into the equation and solve for y

(4 Ă— 6 ) - 3y = 9

24 - 3y = 9 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

- 3y = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

y = 5

Answer:

Y = 5

Explanation:

Since we know six is the value of X we can go ahead and multiply 4 and 6

4 X 6 = 24

Now there are different ways to find the value of Y

How I find the value is I subtracted 24 from 9

That gives you 15

Next you find what number you need to multiply by 3 to get 15

In this case your answer is 5

Then to be extra sure subtract 24 and 15 and you'll get 9

Hope this helps!
