5y+4-2y=9

How can I solve this equation

y = 5/3 = 1.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5y + 4 + - 2y = 9

Reorder

4 + 5y + - 2y = 9

Solving

4 + 3y = 9

Solving for y:

Add - 4 to each side of the equation.

4 + - 4 + 3y = 9 + - 4

Combine like terms.

4 + - 4 = 0

0 + 3y = 9 + - 4

3y = 9 + - 4

Combine like terms.

9 + - 4 = 5

3y = 5

Divide each side by 3

y = 1.666666667
