Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3+3y=1−13y−9
3+3y=1+−13y+−9
3y+3=(−13y)+(1+−9)(Combine Like Terms)
3y+3=−13y+−8
3y+3=−13y−8
Step 2: Add 13y to both sides.
3y+3+13y=−13y−8+13y
16y+3=−8
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
16y+3−3=−8−3
16y=−11
Step 4: Divide both sides by 16.
16y
16=−11/16
y=−11/16
Answer:
y=−11/16
