Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $9y = 8(4y - 3)$, distribute the 8 on the right side to get $9y = 32y - 24$. Then, subtract $32y$ from both sides to get $-23y = -24$. Finally, divide both sides by $-23$ to solve for $y$, which gives $y = \frac{24}{23}$.

Solve the Equation 9y=8(4y−3)9 y = 8 ( 4 y - 3 )9y=8(4y−3)

Solve the Equation $9 y = 8 ( 4 y - 3 )$
