Question 538936
{{{(9-y)/44=5/22}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{22(9-y)=44*5}}} Cross multiply



{{{22(9-y)=220}}} Multiply 44 and 5 to get 220



{{{198-22y=220}}} Distribute.



{{{-22y=220-198}}} Subtract {{{198}}} from both sides.



{{{-22y=22}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(22)/(-22)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-22}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-1}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=-1}}}
