9( y - 4 ) = 6y - 45?

Question

I keep on getting it wrong. What should the answer be and how would i get it?

What is Y? How would I get it? I keep on getting it wrong.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Here's the answer.

9(y-4)=6y-45 --> Write the problem.
9y-36=6y-45 --> Distribute 9 into y-4.
3y-36=-45 --> Subtract 6y on both sides of the equation.
3y=-9 --> Add 36 to both sides of the equation.
y=-3 Divide 3 on both sides of the equation.

So the answer is y=-3.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Ok
9( y - 4 ) = 6y - 45
use the distributed property
9y-36=6y-45
you then need to subtract 36 from both sides
9y=6y-9
subtract 6y from both sides
3y=-9
divide each side by 3
y=-3

there you go!!!! the answer is -3

Good luck in Math!!!! =)

Answer 3

Expand out the equation, then collect like terms on one side;
9(y - 4) = 6y - 45
9y - 36 = 6y - 45
9y - 6y = 36 - 45
3y = -9
y = -9/3
y = -3
You can check the answer by subsitiuting the answer back into the equation, both side should be equal.

Answer 4

9(y-4) = 6y - 45
Use the distributive property (multiply 9 by y and 9 times 4)
9y - 36 = 6y - 45
Add 36 to both sides
9y = 6y - 9
Subtract 6y from both sides
3y = -9
Divide both sides by 3

y=-3

Answer 5

9(y - 4) = 6y - 45
distribute the 9 to get:
9y-36 = 6y-45
subtract 6y from both sides to get:
3y-36 = -45
add 36 to both sides to get:
3y = -9
divide both sides by 3 to get:
y = -3
plug answer in equation to check
9 ((-3) - 4) = -63
6(-3) - 45 = -63

Answer 6

i assume u are trying to find the value of y

first multiply 9 into the brackets

9y-36=6y-45

bring all common elements on the same sides (all ys on one side all non variables on other)

9y-6y=-45+36
add/subtract
3y=-9
divide 3 off both sides
y=-3

thus y=-3

Answer 7

9( y - 4 ) = 6y - 45
9y - 36 = 6y -45
9y-6y = 36-45
3y = -9
y =-3

Answer 8

9 ( y - 4 ) = 9y - 36

9y - 36 = 6y - 45

therefore:

9y - 6 y = - 45 + 36

3y = -9

y = -9 / 3

y = -3

Answer 9

9(y-4)=6y-45
Distribute the 9
9y-36=6y-45
subtract 6y from both sides
3y-36=-45
add 36 to both sides
3y=-9
Divide both sides by 3
y=-3

Answer 10

open the parentheses: 9y-36=6y-45
put variables on one side: 9y-6y=36-45
when crossing over equals sign, change polarity (+ to -, - to +)
3y=-9
y=-3
