9y-3= 19-2y

1 answer

To solve for y, first combine like terms on each side of the equation:

9y - 3 = 19 - 2y

Add 2y to both sides:
9y + 2y - 3 = 19 - 2y + 2y
11y - 3 = 19

Add 3 to both sides:
11y - 3 + 3 = 19 + 3
11y = 22

Divide by 11:
y = 22/11
y = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 2.
