Question

Drag each step and justification to the correct location on the table. Each step and justification can be used more than once, but not all steps and justifications will be used.

Answer 1

Given equation :

2/3 y + 15 = 9.

We need to subtract 15 from both sides first.

2/3 y + 15-15 = 9 -15     Subtraction property of equality.

Now, we need to simplify it.

We get

2/3 y  = - 6     simplification

Now, we need to get rid 2/3 from left side.

On multiplying both sides by 3/2,

2/3 y * 3/2  = - 6  * 3/2  Multiplication property of equality.

On simplifying, we get

y = -9    simplification
