Which set of steps shows the solution to the equation 3y = -9?
a. y = -9 - 3; y = 6
b. y = -9 divided by 3; y = -3
c. y = -9 divided by (3); y = 3
d. y = -9 - (3); y = -6
B because negative divided by positive= negative and you have to divide -9 by 3 since the inverse operation of multiplication is dividing! It's like divide regularly, but with signs added...
