-$$( y - 9 ) - ( y + 6 ) = 4 y$$
A) $y = - \frac { 3 } { 2 }$
B) $y = - \frac { 3 } { 4 }$
C) $y = - \frac { 15 } { 4 }$
D) $y = - \frac { 15 } { 2 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, simplify the left side of the equation: $(y - 9) - (y + 6) = y - 9 - y - 6 = -15$. Then, the equation becomes $-15 = 4y$. Solving for $y$ gives $y = -\frac{15}{4}$.

Solve the Equation (y−9)−(y+6)=4y( y - 9 ) - ( y + 6 ) = 4 y(y−9)−(y+6)=4y

Solve the Equation $( y - 9 ) - ( y + 6 ) = 4 y$
