How to solve y=-(9)/(x)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y=- \frac{ 9 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{9}{y}$
$y\neq 0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$yx=-9$$

Divide both sides by $y$.

$$\frac{yx}{y}=-\frac{9}{y}$$

Dividing by $y$ undoes the multiplication by $y$.

$$x=-\frac{9}{y}$$

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$.

$$x=-\frac{9}{y}\text{, }x\neq 0$$
