Question

solve for y.
9 = 5 - \frac{3}{y}
answer
attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with y

Add $\frac{3}{y}$ to both sides of the equation.
$9+\frac{3}{y}=5$

Step2: Subtract 9 from both sides

$\frac{3}{y}=5 - 9$
$\frac{3}{y}=- 4$

Step3: Cross - multiply

$3=-4y$

Step4: Solve for y

$y =-\frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

$y =-\frac{3}{4}$
