(4)/(9) (9y + 3) = g Use the Distributive Property

(4 (9y))/(9) +
(4 (3))/(9) = g Simplify the numerators

(36y)/(9) +
(12)/(9) = g Simplify the fractions

(4y)/(1) +
(4)/(3) = g Subtract
(4)/(3) from both sides
4y = g -
(4)/(3) Divide both sides by 4

When you divide a fraction by a number, you're actually just multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the number. So,
(4)/(3) ÷ 4 is actually just
(4)/(3) x
(1)/(4).

y
=
(g)/(4) -
(1)/(3)
