Question

5y+9=39
need the steps
and what is y

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

5y+9=39

-9 on both sides to get the y by itself =30

5y=30

now divide 5 on both sides and you get y = 6

Answer 2

Hey there!

5y + 9 = 39

SUBTRACT 9 to BOTH SIDES

5y + 9 - 9 = 39 - 9

CANCEL out: 9 - 9 because that gives you

KEEP: 39 - 9 because that helps you solve for y

39 - 9 = 30

NEW EQUATION: 5y = 30

DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES

5y/5 = 30/5

CANCEL out: 5/5 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 30/5 because that helps solve for y

y = 30/5

Answer: y = 6

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
