Do you want to solve for "y" ??



9x-3y=20 Start with the given equation.


-3y=20-9x Subtract 9x from both sides.


-3y=-9x%2B20 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-9x%2B20%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-9%29%2F%28-3%29%29x%2B%2820%29%2F%28-3%29 Break up the fraction.


y=3x-20%2F3 Reduce.
