Question

Solve the equation-5y-9=-(y-1)

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the equation:

$-5y-9=-(y-1)$

Now,

Solve the above equation

So,

$\begin{gathered} -5y-9=-(y-1) \\ -5y-9=-y+1 \\ -5y-9+y-1=0 \\ -4y-10=0 \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} -4y-10=0 \\ -4y=10 \\ y=\frac{10}{-4} \\ y=-2.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the value of y is -2.5.
