Q. Solve for y and simplify your answer.−11=−56yAnswer:
Isolate y: First, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. To do this, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by −1 to get rid of the negative sign on the right side.Calculation: −1×−11=−1×−(56)yThis simplifies to 11=(56)y
Multiply by −1: Next, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (56) to solve for y.Calculation: (65)×11=(65)×(56)yThis simplifies to (655)=y
