Answer 2

thats better

Answer 3

ok, you can write that out like this:
(y/-6) + 5 = 9 :)

Answer 4

ok So my first step is subtract 5 from both sides

(y/-6) = 4
right?

Answer 5

Yes:)

Answer 6

Ok do I multiply to get y by it's self? o-o

Answer 7

Yes, exactly:)

Answer 8

-6 x -6 is 36 so what do I do?

Answer 9

It works in a different way. Here:
(y/-6) * -6 = 4 * -6
When you multiply y/-6 times -6, the -6s cancel out, and you're left with y

Answer 10

oh
so after i multiply i have y=4!

Answer 11

but then what?

Answer 12

wait oh!
didn't multiply it by -6

Answer 13

Yes, remember that:)

Answer 14

-6 * 4 = -24! <--- my answer

Answer 15

Yes, so your answer in the end should be: y = -24

Answer 16

Yep!

Answer 17

I have more question. Should I make another thread?

Answer 18

Yes, that's best. keeps things easier to see:)
