PLEASE HELP!!
1y+14=-4y+9 for y. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

y = -1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and =

First, add 4y and subtract 14 from both sides:

1y (+4y) + 14 (-14) = -4y (+4y) + 9 (-14)

1y + 4y = 9 - 14

Combine like terms:

5y = -5

Isolate the variable, y. Divide 5 from both sides:

(5y)/5 = (-5)/5

y = -5/5

y = -1

y = -1 is your answer.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
