Question

If x is 1 what is the value of y?9x - 5y = 29

Answer 1

Given

The equation,

9x - 5y = 29.

To find the value of y when x is 1.

Explanation:

It is given that,

$9x-5y=29$

That implies,

When x=1,

$\begin{gathered} 9(1)-5y=29 \\ 9-5y=29 \\ -5y=29-9 \\ -5y=20 \\ y=\frac{20}{-5} \\ y=-4 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the value of y is -4.
