How do you solve #y/9 + 5 =0#?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

#y = -45#

As per the question, we have

#y/9+5=0#

#:.y/9 + 5 -5 = 0 - 5# ... [Subtract 5 from both sides ]

#:.y/9=-5#

#:.y/9 xx 9 = -5 xx 9# ... [Multiply 9 in both sides ]

#:.y/cancel9 xxcancel9 = -45#

#:. y = -45#

Hence, the answer.

To solve ( \frac{y}{9} + 5 = 0 ), first, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. Then, multiply both sides by 9. This will isolate ( y ). The resulting value will be the solution for ( y ).
