(4y + 5) /2 = y + 9? Can you please help me solve this?

2 answers

Y = 13/2
(4y + 5) /2 = y + 9
- first start off by multiplying both sides by 2 so get rid of the divided by 2 on the left side
4y+5 = 2(y+9)
4y+5=2y+18
- so you want to bring Y's to one side and the numbers to the other
4y-2y= 18-5
2y= 13
y=7.5

Hope this explains it.
