Solve y-0/12-0*9-0/12-24=-1

$$\frac { y - 0 } { 12 - 0 } \times \frac { 9 - 0 } { 12 - 24 } = - 1$$

Solve for y

$$y=16$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.

$$\frac{y-0}{12}\times \frac{9-0}{12-24}=-1$$

Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.

$$\frac{y-0}{12}\times \frac{9}{12-24}=-1$$

Subtract 24 from 12 to get -12.

$$\frac{y-0}{12}\times \frac{9}{-12}=-1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{9}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{y-0}{12}\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)=-1$$

Multiply \frac{y-0}{12} times -\frac{3}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-\left(y-0\right)\times 3}{12\times 4}=-1$$

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{-y}{4\times 4}=-1$$

Multiply 4 and 4 to get 16.

$$\frac{-y}{16}=-1$$

Multiply both sides by 16.

$$-y=-16$$

Cancel out -1 on both sides.

$$y=16$$
