Question

Solve.
3y − 1 − 9y = 29

(−5, 6, −6, 5)- answer options

Answer 1

Answer: y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

3y-1-9y=29

3y-9y=-6y

-6y-1=29

+1 on both sides

-6y=30

÷-6

y=-5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP

1

:

Pulling out like terms

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-6y - 30 = -6 • (y + 5)

STEP

2

:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : -6 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : y+5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation :

y = -5

One solution was found :

y = -5
