Answer 2

Y=2

Explanation:

Simplifying

4y + 1 = 9

Reorder the terms:

1 + 4y = 9

Solving

1 + 4y = 9

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + 4y = 9 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + 4y = 9 + -1

4y = 9 + -1

Combine like terms: 9 + -1 = 8

4y = 8

Divide each side by '4'.

y = 2
