Question

Solve the equation -2(y - 1) = 9. -11/2 7/2 11/2 -7/2

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property: a(b +c) = a*b +a*c

-2(y-1) = 9

y*(-2) - 1*(-2) = 9

-2y + 2  = 9  {Subtract 2 from each side}

-2y       = 9 - 2

      -2y = 7       {Divide each side by -2}  

         y = 7/-2

y = -7/2
