Question

Whats y over 9 =y+2 over 3 in solving proportions NO LINKS THANKS

Answer 1

y = - 3

Explanation:

Given

`(y)/(9)` =
`(y+2)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

9(y + 2) = 3y ← distribute left side

9y + 18 = 3y ( subtract 3y from both sides )

6y + 18 = 0 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

6y = - 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = - 3
