Answer: -3/6 (reduced is -1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute the 6
-18 = 9 + 6y - 24
combine like terms on one side
-18 = -15 + 6y
get all like terms on one side
-3 = 6y
divide by 6
-3/6 = y
if you need to simplify or reduce the answer is -1/2.
Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-18=9+6(y-4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-18=9+6y+(6)(-4)\\\\-18=9+6y-24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-18=6y+(9-24)\\\\-18=6y-15\qquad\text{add 15 to both sides}\\\\-3=6y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\\dfrac{-3}{6}=\dfrac{6y}{6}\\\\-\dfrac{3:3}{6:3}=y\to y=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
