Answer:
To solve the given equation, 2y + 9 = 4, for the variable y, we must first isolate y on one side of the equation. We'll begin isolating y on the left side by subtracting 9 from both sides as follows:
2y + 9 = 4 (Given)
2y + 9 - 9 = 4 - 9
(NOTE: Remember -- What you do to one side of an equation; You must do to the other side in order to maintain the sense of equality and equilibrium)
2y + 0 = -5
2y = -5
Now, divide both sides by 2 in order to finally solve for y:
(2y)/2 = -5/2
(2/2)y = -5/2
(1)y = -5/2
y = -5/2
CHECK (Always perform this step back in the original, given equation):
2y + 9 = 4
2(-5/2) + 9 = 4
(2/2)(-5) + 9 = 4
(1)(-5) + 9 = 4
-5 + 9 = 4
4 = 4
Therefore, y = -5/2 is indeed the correct value for the variable y and thus the solution to the given equation.
