Solve each equation. Check your solution. (Lesson 2-3)

9+y5=6

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of the given equation is y=−15.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Write the given equation.

The given equation is “9+y5=6”.

02

Step 2. Solve the given equation.

Solving,

9+y5=6 (Given equation)

9+y5−9=6−9 (Subtract 9 from both sides)

y5=−3 (Simplify)

y5×5=−3×5 (Multiply both sides by 5)

y=−15 (Simplify)

So, y=−15is the solution of the given equation.

03

Step 3. Check the obtained solution.

Put y=−15in the given equation 9+y5=6to get,

9+−155=69+−3=69−3=66=6

Since the value obtained on the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, the obtained value is indeed a solution of the given equation.
