Question

Solve the equation -4(8+y)=9

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = - \frac{41}{4} = - 10 \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4(8+y)=9 \\ - 32 - 4y = 9 \\ - 4y = 9 + 32 \\ - 4y = 41 \\ \\ y = - \frac{41}{4} = - 10 \frac{1}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\frac{41}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(8+y)=9

Distribute:

-32-4y=9

Add 32 on both sides:

-4y=41

Divide -4 with 41:

y=-41/4
