Solve (2)4(1/6)+y=9

$$( 2 ) 4 ( 1 / 6 ) + y = 9$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{23}{3} = 7\frac{2}{3} \approx 7.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$8\times \frac{1}{6}+y=9$$

Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{6} to get \frac{8}{6}.

$$\frac{8}{6}+y=9$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{4}{3}+y=9$$

Subtract \frac{4}{3} from both sides.

$$y=9-\frac{4}{3}$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{27}{3}.

$$y=\frac{27}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{27}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{27-4}{3}$$

Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.

$$y=\frac{23}{3}$$
