: this question kinda isn't in the book but here it goes
(1/10)(y-9)=9
when there is no number beside it how do you get the numbers out of ()? Do you take the 9 or something. I guess I can give it a shot right now.
9/10=9-9
so then 9-9=0 and I'm kinda not sure after that not that I am even sure how to do any of this problem

(1/10)(y-9)=9
Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid of the denominator, as follows:
10[(1/10)(y-9)=10*9
The 10 times the 1/10 is "1", so you get:
y-9=90
Add 9 to both sides to get:
y=99

+%281%2F10%29%28y-9%29=9+
First thing, to get rid of the fraction ... multiply both sides by its reciprocal
+%2810%2F1%29%281%2F10%29%28y-9%29=9%2810%2F1%29+
The fractions cancel on the left
+y-9=9%2810%2F1%29+
Multiply on the right
+y-9=90+
Add 9 to both sides
+y-9%2B9+=+90+%2B9+
Combine like terms
+y+=+99+
