Question

x-3y=9.. I've tried isolating y but it's gotten to the point i confused myself and have gotten two different answers, my last being y=x-9 over -3

Answer 1

first step
*)subtract
x both side

Answer 2

what you should get when you subtract x both side
what sign suppose to be at right side ?

Answer 3

\[x-3y=9\]\[x-9=3y\]\[3y=x-9\]
Now divide both x and -9 by 3.
You should get\[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x-3\]as your answer.
