Solve the equation for y: 2x + 3(y + 9) = 17.
first multiply 3 times y+9 using distitributive property
after that move the 2x to the other side by subtracting 2x form both sides
at the end just devide by 3 to get the y by it self and ur done
so what should be the final answer
well i basically give u the final answer when i told u the exact steps plz do it first and show me that u understand what i stated above
i did it i just wanna make sure that i did it right i got y = 5-2x
ok let me check
no that is not right
well than what is
y=-2x/3 -10/3
by the way there is supposed to be a step between my first and my second comment it is this then moove the 27 to the other side by subtracting 27 form both sides
@crhoades96 did u get the answer and how i got to it ?
2x+3y+18=17 -18 both side 2x+3y=-1 3y=-1+2x
@lovemie ur first step is wrong 3 times 9 is not 18 it is 27 that is the same mistake i did before
omg yeah it's 27
there really is no need to distribute the 3 thru; its harmless, but unnecessary
