Solve the equation. - 3|y - 3| = 9

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (y-3) = 9

One solution was found:

y = 0

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

-3 * (y-3) - (9) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Equation at the end of step 1:

(0 - 3 • (y - 3)) - 9 = 0

Step 2:

Equation at the end of step 2:

-3y = 0

Step 3:

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.1 Solve : - 3y = 0

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 3y = 0

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

y = 0

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-3|y - 3| = 9

⇌ (Divide both sides by - 3)

|y - 3| = - 3 impossible

because |y - 3| is greater than 0 and - 3 is less than 0.
