Sign In
Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side.
y=9
To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side, using the Properties of Equality. In this case, we will start by using the Multiplication Property of Equality to remove the fraction on the left-hand side of the equation.
LHS * 2=RHS* 2
2 * a/2= a
Multiply
LHS-3=RHS-3
Subtract terms
The solution to the equation is y=9.
