- 4 = 9y + 13 – 4y What is the solution of this equation?

Step-by-step explanation:

-4=9y+13-4y

combine like terms

9y-4y=5y

-4=5y+13

subtract 13 on both sides

-4-13=-17

-17=5y

divide both sides by 5

-17/5=y

since it cant reduce lower than that it stays like that.

hope this helps....

y = -17/5

Step-by-step explanation:

collect the like terms (-4 = 9y + 13 – 4y)

move the terms (-4 = 5y + 13)

calculate (-5y = 13 + 4)

divide both sides (-5y = 17)

so your solution is -17/5

can also be written as - 3 , or y = -3.4
