The answer would be y = 3.1
19.9 + 8 = 9y
27.9 = 9y
27.9/9 = y
3.1 = y
y = 3.1.
My only issue is that it says numbers between. It does not say including. Therefore, I think you want to use > and < instead of the ones with equals signs attached.
Answer:
I solved the question in three methods factorization, completing the square and quadratic equation . the continuation of completing the square is on the next page titled page 3
hope it helps
