Question

Solve 19.9 = 9y - 8. y =

Answer 1

Answer: y = 3.1

Step-by-step explanation: We want to isolate the y.

First, we want to get rid of the -8 so we add 8 (this makes zero) What we do to one side we must do to the other so we add 8 to the 19.9 which gets us 27.9.

Our equation is now 27.9 = 9y. We still want to isolate the y. The 9y means 9 times y so to get rid of the 9 on that side we have to divide both sides by 9. Leaving us with y = 3.1

Answer 2

`19.9=9y-8`

Step 1: Flip the equation:

`9y-8=19.9`

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides:

`9y-8+8=19.9+8`

`9y=27.9`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9:

`(9y)/(9) =(27.9)/(9)`

`\fbox{y=3.1}`

Hope this helps!
