Solve 24(9-y)=3

$$24(9-y)=3$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{71}{8} = 8\frac{7}{8} = 8.875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 24.

$$9-y=\frac{3}{24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$9-y=\frac{1}{8}$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$-y=\frac{1}{8}-9$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{72}{8}.

$$-y=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{72}{8}$$

Since \frac{1}{8} and \frac{72}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{1-72}{8}$$

Subtract 72 from 1 to get -71.

$$-y=-\frac{71}{8}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=\frac{71}{8}$$
