Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Your equation
8y - 3 = 11y + 9
Switch the right side of the equation so the y variable on the outer side
8y - 3 = 9 + 11y
Subtract the 11y (from both sides of the equation so the equality will hold)
-3y - 3 = 9
Switch the equation around
9 = -3y - 3
Add the 3 (to both sides of the equation so the equality will hold)
12 = -3y
Switch the equation around again so that the y variable is on the left
-3y = 12
Divide both sides by -3
y = -4
