Question

How do you solve 9y-11-5y=25

Answer 1

Solve for y by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
y = 9.

Answer 2

The answer is y=9.

Here are the steps.

1. simplify 9y - 11 - 5y to 4y - 11 ( 4y - 11 = 25)

2. add 11 to both sides ( 4y = 25 + 11)

3. simplify 25 + 11 to 36 ( 4y = 36)

4. divide both sides by 4 ( y = 36/4)

5. simplify 36/4 to 9 ( finally y = 9)
