mmm add 1 to both sidees ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you could or you could add 9. you want to leave the biggest number with the y where it is so its less work on you. then what do you think you do?
OpenStudy (adajiamcneal):
idk what its called lol but the -5y becomes -4 y correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct. its just getting the y alone still
so now you have -4y=-8
what is the next step
OpenStudy (adajiamcneal):
