complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals -8.
4x + 9y = -14

Answer 1

To find the value of y, you need to plug a value into the x variable, in this case -8.

     4x + 9y = -14     Substitute -8 for x
4 (-8) + 9y = -14     Multiply
   -32 + 9y = -14     Start isolating the variable by adding 32 to both sides
            9y = 18      Divide both sides by 9
              y = 2

When x = -8, y = 2
