Ok, so for this problem you want to get Y all by itself. First you’ll want to move your X variables to one side. You do that by adding 2X to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out the -2X and it will turn the 16X into an 18X. You’re equation is now, 18X+9=9Y Next you’ll want to divide both sides by 9 so that you’ll get Y all by itself. Your equation should look like this. Y=2X+1! And that’s your answer:) I hope this helped!
