Question

30 points can someone help please

Answer 1

`y = 4`

Explanation:

Since each box is the same, that means Box A = Box B, which means 8y+1=6y+9

`8y + 1 = 6y + 9`

Now to get y's on one sides of the equal sign and numbers on the other.

First we can subtract 1 from each side to get

`8y = 6y + 8`

Next we'll subtract 6y from both sides

`2y = 8`

Lastly, we divide both sides by 2

`y = 4`

Answer 2

y=4

Explanation:

set up the equation like 8y+1=6y+9.

subtract the one to the other side to get the 8y isolated.

8y=6y+8

subtract6 6y from 8y.

2y=8

divide to find y.

y=4
