Question

What is the value of y in the equation 3(3y - 9) = 0?

a - 1
b - 3
c - 4

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use the Distributive Property in order to solve.

Distributive Example:
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Using the property into the equation:

`3(3y-9)=3(3y)-3(9)=9y-27`

`9y-27=0`

Add 27 to both sides:

`9y=27`

Divide each side by 9:

`y=3`

b is correct.
