please help i will fan and medal !

Answer 1

Which set of steps shows the solution to the equation 3y = −9?

y = −9 − 3; y = 6
y = −9 ÷ 3; y = −3
y = −9 ÷ (−3); y = 3
y = −9 − (−3); y = −6

Answer 2

In order to get y by itself you need to divide off the 3. You would divide both sides by 3 giving you y=-9÷3=-3

Answer 3

You want to solve for y by isolating it by itself on one side of the equation, in other words, have y = something.
There is a coefficient of 3 in front of y, so divide both sides by 3 to get y by itself

(doing the same operation to both sides does not change the value of the equation, and 3 divided by 3 is 1, which gets rid of the 3).

3y = -9
y = -9 / 3

Answer 4

so b?

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes, b is the correct answer
