Question

Solve this equation y + 9 = 9

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

y + 9 = 9 ; solve for y.

To solve for y, we must get y onto its own side of the equal sign. So, our first step should be to subtract 9 from both sides.

y + 9 - 9 = 9 - 9

Simplify.

y = 0

To check if y is truly equal to 0, let's plug in 0 for y in our initial equation.

y + 9 = 9 --> 0 + 9 = 9

9 = 9

Therefore, y = 0.

~Hope I helped!~

Answer 2

y + 9 = 9

Subtract 9 to both sides to isolate the 9 on the y. Whatever you do on one side you have to do it to the other side, your answer should be

y + 9 = 9

- 9      - 9

y = 0
