Question

-y/8 + 1 = -5
What is the value of y?

Answer 1

its - y over 8
for any who didn't know

Answer 2

subtract 1 from both sides
then multiply both sides by \(-1\)

Answer 3

clear or no?

Answer 4

You can either get a common denominator (8), or you could move the one over and then cross multiply.

Answer 5

\[\frac{ -y }{ 8 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 1 }=\frac{ -5 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 6

satellite does it equal 6?

Answer 7

there is no such mathematical operations as "move"
neither is there "cross multiply

Answer 8

\[\frac{ -y }{ 8 }=\frac{ -6 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 9

You subtract 1 from each side and then you multiply both sides by 8 and then -y=?

Answer 10

no \[-\frac{y}{8}+1=-5\] subtract \(1\) get \[-\frac{y}{8}=-6\]

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

then multiply both sides by \(-8\)

Answer 13

i meant "no, it is not 6"

Answer 14

and also where did the 1 come from if you got rid of it?

Answer 15

\[-y=-42\]
\[y=42\]

Answer 16

the 1 was in the question
got rid of it by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation

Answer 17

is it 48?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20
