Answer:
✔The first thing
✔Then
Explanation:
The above words are the details in the text that indicate a chronological structure.
Chronological order/structure refers to a way of organization in which events are arranged or presented in order as they occur or occurred in time. It's known to be a structure of sequence.
Words that denote chronological order/structure in texts are first, third, second, until, then, after, later, at last, next, etc.
In the text, the use of "The first thing" and "then" actually indicate a chronological order.
1/4 (9y-3) + 1/8(6y+9)
(9/4)y - 3/4 + (6/8)y + 9/8
(9/4)y + (6/8)y - 3/4 + 9/8
(12/8)y + 3/8 = 0
(12/8)y = -3/8
y = -3/12
y = -1/4
