Full solution

Q. Evaluate the expression for y=9.5y = 9.5.\newlineWrite your answer in simplest form.\newliney2y+8=\frac{y - 2}{-y + 8} = __
  1. Substitute 9.59.5: Substitute 9.59.5 for yy in the expression y2y+8\frac{y - 2}{-y + 8}.9.529.5+8\frac{9.5 - 2}{-9.5 + 8}
  2. Calculate numerator: Calculate the numerator 9.529.5 - 2.\newline9.52=7.59.5 - 2 = 7.5
  3. Calculate denominator: Calculate the denominator 9.5+8-9.5 + 8.\newline9.5+8=1.5-9.5 + 8 = -1.5
  4. Write fraction: Write the fraction with the calculated numerator and denominator. 7.51.5\frac{7.5}{-1.5}
  5. Divide to simplify: Divide 7.57.5 by 1.5-1.5 to simplify the fraction.\newline7.5/1.5=57.5 / -1.5 = -5
