Let’s check out your problem:

Solve for yy.\newline8y+1=9y-8y + 1 = -9y\newliney=y = ____

Full solution

Q. Solve for yy.\newline8y+1=9y-8y + 1 = -9y\newliney=y = ____
  1. Isolate y by adding: Step 11: Isolate y by adding 9y9y to both sides of the equation.\newline8y+1+9y=9y+9y-8y + 1 + 9y = -9y + 9y\newline1y+1=01y + 1 = 0
  2. Subtract to solve for y: Step 22: Subtract 11 from both sides to solve for y.\newline1y+11=011y + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1\newliney=1y = -1
