Answer

The value of 9y + 1 is -26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below equation

-2y - 1 = 5

Step 1: find y

To find y, firstly collect the like terms

-2y = 5 + 1

-2y = 6

Divide both sides by -2

-2y / -2 = 6/-2

y = -3

Given 9y + 1

Substitute the value of y = -3

9(-3) + 1

= -27 + 1

= - 26

Therefore, the value of 9y + 1 is -26
