solve for y. -13y - 6y - 9 = -20y + 5 y =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms on the left - hand side

Combine (-13y) and (-6y). (-13y-6y-9=-20y + 5) becomes (-19y-9=-20y + 5)

Step2: Add (20y) to both sides

To get the (y) terms on one side. (-19y + 20y-9=-20y+20y + 5) (y-9 = 5)

Step3: Add 9 to both sides

To solve for (y). (y-9+9=5 + 9)

Answer:

(y = 14)
