Add 1 to both sides

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{y - 1}{-11} = -3 \), let's go step by step and fill in the missing terms and select the missing descriptions.

1. Start with the given equation: \[ \frac{y - 1}{-11} = -3 \]

2. Multiply both sides by -11 (to eliminate the fraction): \[ y - 1 = 33 \]

3. Now, we need to isolate \( y \). Add 1 to both sides: \[ y = 33 + 1 \]

4. Simplifying gives us: \[ y = 34 \]

So the complete process is:

• Fill in the missing term: \( \text{Multiply both sides by -11} \)
• Select the missing description: \( \text{Add 1 to both sides} \)

Final answer: \[ y = 34 \]
