## Constanceleak one year ago Solve the equation for y. Solve for y 8x – 9y = 11

1. anonymous

11/9

2. OnePieceFTW

@johnnyy999 you're wrong cause we have two variables. We couldn't possibly find the solution.

3. Constanceleak

actually it's a two variable solution

4. Constanceleak

so it's possible

5. OnePieceFTW

Subtract 8x from both sides –9y = 11 - 8x Divide both sides by -9 $y = -\frac{ 11 }{ 9 } - 8x$

6. Constanceleak

i thought 8x needed to be divided by 9

7. OnePieceFTW

right that's correct $y = \frac{ -11-8x }{ -9 }$

8. OnePieceFTW

Sorry :/

9. Constanceleak

It's ok

10. Constanceleak

$y=-9/8x-9/11$

11. Constanceleak

y=9/8x+11/8

12. Constanceleak

y=-8x-11

13. Constanceleak

or y=8/9x-11/9

It's the last one :) I believe y=8/9x -11/9

Hope that works for you.

18. OnePieceFTW

But we don't have a 9x ever in the equation. Are you sure one of the choices isn't $y=\frac{ -8x }{ -9 } + \frac{ 11 }{ -9 }$

19. OnePieceFTW

11/-9

20. YoloShroom

Oh damn, missed that... My bad ;-;..

21. Constanceleak

i found that the last one is the answer

thx guys
