Question

Order each step and justification that is needed to solve the equation below. 2/3y+ 15=9

Answer 1

[ Answer ]

Y = -9

[ Explanation ]

Subtract 15 from both sides:

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

Simplify:

2/3y = -6

Multiply each side by 3:

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

Simplify:

2y = -18

Divide both sides by 2:

2y / 2 = -18/2

y = -9
