Question

$$2(y+9)=3-y$$

Solve for y

$y=-5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $y+9$.

$$2y+18=3-y$$

Add $y$ to both sides.

$$2y+18+y=3$$

Combine $2y$ and $y$ to get $3y$.

$$3y+18=3$$

Subtract $18$ from both sides.

$$3y=3-18$$

Subtract $18$ from $3$ to get $-15$.

$$3y=-15$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$y=\frac{-15}{3}$$

Divide $-15$ by $3$ to get $-5$.

$$y=-5$$
