Question

solve for y. x-9y=10

Answer 1

To isolate y, you need to get rid of the x-part on from left side.

Answer 2

Since there is x on the left side, you need to subtract x from both sides.
Can you do that?

Answer 3

x= 10 + 9y
x-10 = 9y
(x -10)/9 = y

Answer 4

does y=9 @mathstudent55

Answer 5

x - 9y = 10

Subtract x from both sides:

-9y = 10 - x

Now divide both sides by -9:

y = (10 - x)/(-9)

Now simplify the right side:

y = (x - 10)/9

\(y = \dfrac{x - 10}{9} \)

Answer 6

That is the final answer.
