Question

If-9(y-13) = 16, then y=​

Answer 1

Hi there,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

`-9 (y-13) = 16`

This is called a linear equation. Let's distribute:

`-9y + 117 = 16`

Now we need to subtract 117 from both sides

`-9y +117-117=16-117`

`-9y = -101`

Now divide both sides by -9

`(-9y)/(-9) = (-101)/(-9)`

`y = (101)/(9)`

Happy to help! All the best this semester!
