For what value of the variable : is the value of 9-y twice as much as the value of y?

Sagot :

Y=3 because 9-3=6 and 3*3=6

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

[tex]y = 3[/tex]

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{"The value of 9-y twice as much as the value of y" can be written as:}}\\\\9-y = 2y[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Solving for 'y'...}}\\\\9-y=2y\\------------\\\rightarrow 9 -y + y = 2y + y\\\\\rightarrow 9 = 3y\\\\\rightarrow \frac{9=3y}{3}\\\\\rightarrow 3 = y\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{y = 3}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
