Given the numerical equation: -15y - (-14y) = - 9
Solve for y.
Solution:
Combine first -15y and -14y. Noticed that before -14y there is a negative sign, meaning that the operation will become positive.
-15y - (-14y) = - 9
-15y + 14y = -9
-y = -9
Multiply both sides of the equation in order to have a positive y.
y = 9
