Beyond the Answer
To solve for \( y \), let's first isolate it in the equation \( 7 = 2y + 9 \). Start by subtracting 9 from both sides: \( 7 - 9 = 2y \), which simplifies to \( -2 = 2y \). Now, divide both sides by 2 to get \( y = -1 \). Now, if we set it up in another way, we can rewrite the original equation as \( 2y = 7 - 9 \), which also leads to the conclusion \( 2y = -2 \) and again to \( y = -1 \). So, the equivalent equation could also be expressed as \( 2y = -2 \). So, both \( y = -1 \) and \( 2y = -2 \) are equivalent forms when working with the original equation!
