Answer:

y = - 9

Explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 on both sides.

2/3y = 9 - 15

2/3y = - 6

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

y = - 6 × 3/2

y = -18/2

y = -9

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 from each side

2/3y + 15-15 = 9-15

2/3y = -6

Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y

3/2 * 2/3y = -6 *3/2

y = -9
