Answer:

y=−17

Step-by-step explanation:

−9=y+8

Flip the equation.

y+8=−9

Subtract 8 from both sides.

y+8−8=−9−8

y=−17

<u>Answer:</u>

<em><u>y = -17</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Step 1: To solve this equation, subtract eight from both sides. This will isolate the variable (y) and allow us to find its value.

-9 = y + 8\\(-9 - 8) = y + (8 - 8)\\(-9 - 8) = y\\-17 = y

Step 2: Switch sides

-17 = y\\y = -17

Bonus Step: If you would like to double check that the variable (y) does in fact equal negative seventeen, substitute the value of the variable in the equation and solve.

-9 = y + 8\\-9 = -17 + 8\\-9 = -9 [true]

Therefore, the value of y in the given equation is <em><u>-17.</u></em>

What's the value of x y z
lions [1.4K]
They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations

ie. 1+x = 2

First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.

1+x-1 = 2-1

So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.

x = 1


More complex cases would be

2y-3 = 45

First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES

2y-3+3 = 45+3

2y = 48

WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2

2y/2 = 48/2

y = 24

There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.
