Solve for Y. *Hint: combine like terms first Tell how you found the value of Y.

4 - 2y + 3 = -9

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2y + 3 = -9

step 1 combine like terms

4 + -3 = 1

now we have 1 - 2y = -9

( now we solve using inverse operations )

we want to get rid of the 1

To do so we subtract 1 but whatever we do to one side we have to do to the other so we subtract one from each side

1 - 1 cancels out

-9 - 1 = -10

now we have -2y = - 10

Now we want to get rid of the -2 on -2y

-2y is the same as -2 * y ( multiplication )

The inverse of multiplication is divisions so we divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = y

-10/-2 = 5

we're left with y = 5

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
