Answer:
[tex]-\frac{41}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(8+y)=9
Distribute:
-32-4y=9
Add 32 on both sides:
-4y=41
Divide -4 with 41:
y=-41/4
[tex]y = - \frac{41}{4} = - 10 \frac{1}{4} \\ [/tex]
[tex]-4(8+y)=9 \\ - 32 - 4y = 9 \\ - 4y = 9 + 32 \\ - 4y = 41 \\ \\ y = - \frac{41}{4} = - 10 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
