To solve the equation [tex]\( \frac{y}{9} + 5 = 0 \)[/tex], let's go through the following steps:
1. Isolate the term containing [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{y}{9} + 5 = 0
\][/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate [tex]\(\frac{y}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{y}{9} = -5
\][/tex]
2. Solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
y = -5 \times 9
\][/tex]
Simplifying the right-hand side:
[tex]\[
y = -45
\][/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the equation [tex]\( \frac{y}{9} + 5 = 0 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( y = -45 \)[/tex].
The best answer is:
A. [tex]\( y = -45 \)[/tex]
