Question

(3y-6)divided by 9 is equal to (4-2y)divided by -3
solve for y

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

Expressing the equation in fractional form, that is

`(3y-6)/(9)` =
`(4-2y)/(-3)` ( cross- multiply )

- 3(3y - 6) = 9(4 - 2y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 9y + 18 = 36 - 18y ( add 18y to both sides )

9y + 18 = 36 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

9y = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 2
