Solve for Y 5(-y-9)-6y=1

First, distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:

5(-y - 9) = 5(-y) + 5(-9) = -5y - 45

The equation now becomes:

-5y - 45 - 6y = 1

Combine like terms on the left side:

-11y - 45 = 1

Add 45 to both sides to isolate the term with y:

-11y - 45 + 45 = 1 + 45

-11y = 46

y=\frac{46}{-11}
