Nine times a number y subtracted from 95 equals 37

y = 6.44

Step-by-step explanation:

"nine times number y" : 9y

"subtracted from 95" : (95 - 9y)

"equals 37" : (95 - 9y) = 37

solving for y

95 - 9y = 37 (subtract 95 from both sides)

-9y = 37 - 95

-9y = - 58 (divide both sides by - 9)

y = - 58 / - 9

y = 6.44

Step-by-step explanation:

9y-95=37

9y=132/9

y=14.6666
