Question

plz help will medal and fan!!
Solve for Y
4x-5y=9

Answer 1

First, you want to get "y" on one side of the equation. Any ideas on how to do this? @hanna1

Answer 2

not with this problem

Answer 3

okay. First, we want to subtract 4x from both sides, like this:

4x-5y=9
-4x -4x
--------
-5y = -4x+9

Answer 4

okay?

Answer 5

Does that make sense so far?

Answer 6

nope cuz u can subtract 4x from 9

Answer 7

no, you add the 4x to the 9...it's basically moving 4x to the other side of the equation

Answer 8

oh okay

Answer 9

Now, do you have any ideas on what to do next?

(Hint: we have only one more step!)

Answer 10

nope

Answer 11

Okay.

You want to divide everything by -5 to isolate y.

Answer 12

okay

Answer 13

It would look like this:

-5y = -4x+9
/-5 /-5 /-5
------------
?

Try to see what you would get. I'll help you if needed
