complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals -8.
4x + 9y = -14

Answer 1

To find the value of y, you need to plug a value into the x variable, in this case -8.

4x + 9y = -14 Substitute -8 for x
4 (-8) + 9y = -14 Multiply
-32 + 9y = -14 Start isolating the variable by adding 32 to both sides
9y = 18 Divide both sides by 9
y = 2

When x = -8, y = 2
