Question 119200

{{{4y-2=-8+9y}}} Start with the given equation




{{{4y=-8+9y+2}}}Add 2 to both sides



{{{4y-9y=-8+2}}} Subtract 9y from both sides



{{{-5y=-8+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-5y=-6}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{y=(-6)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y




{{{y=6/5}}} Reduce



{{{y=1&1/5}}} Now convert the improper fraction into a mixed fraction


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=1&1/5}}}  (which is approximately {{{y=1.2}}} in decimal form)



So the answer is D)
