y=9x-9a
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by x-a.
9x-9a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-9a=y-9x
Subtract 9x from both sides.
\frac{-9a}{-9}=\frac{y-9x}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
a=\frac{y-9x}{-9}
Dividing by -9 undoes the multiplication by -9.
a=-\frac{y}{9}+x
Divide y-9x by -9.
y=9x-9a
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by x-a.
9x-9a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
9x=y+9a
Add 9a to both sides.
\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{y+9a}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=\frac{y+9a}{9}
Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.
x=\frac{y}{9}+a
Divide y+9a by 9.
