Question

Whats y over 9 =y+2 over 3 in solving proportions NO LINKS THANKS

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{y}{9}$ = $\frac{y+2}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

9(y + 2) = 3y ← distribute left side

9y + 18 = 3y ( subtract 3y from both sides )

6y + 18 = 0 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

6y = - 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = - 3
