Solve {c}{-4y-45=9(y+8)}{text{implificarlarespuestaal}}{y=square}

$$\left. \begin{array} { c } { - 4 y - 45 = 9 ( y + 8 ) } \\ { \text { implificar la respuesta al } } \\ { y = \square } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for y

$$y=-9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by y+8.

$$-4y-45=9y+72$$

Subtract 9y from both sides.

$$-4y-45-9y=72$$

Combine -4y and -9y to get -13y.

$$-13y-45=72$$

Add 45 to both sides.

$$-13y=72+45$$

Add 72 and 45 to get 117.

$$-13y=117$$

Divide both sides by -13.

$$y=\frac{117}{-13}$$

Divide 117 by -13 to get -9.

$$y=-9$$
