Solve the equation-5y-9=(y-1) answers are-1/2, -21/2, -2, ,2/4

Answer 1

-5y - 9 = y - 1

-5y - y - 9 = -1
-6y - 9 + 9 = - 1 + 9
-6y = 8
-6y/-6 = 8/-6

y = -4/3

Are you sure you have the right equation? If the equation said:

5y + 9 = (y + 1), y would equal -2

5y - y + 9 = 1
4y + 9 - 9 = 1 - 9
4y = -8
4y/4 = -8/4
y = -2
