The difference between −5y+1 and 3y+2 is equal to −9. find y

the difference between the 2 expressions is

- 5y + 1 - (3y + 2 ) = - 9

- 5y + 1 - 3y - 2 = - 9

- 8y - 1 = - 9 ( add 1 to both sides )

- 8y = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

y = 1

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
