9(y+8)-27 is 9y+45. Why can't you reduce that to y+5? I know that's wrong but can't explain why
Patrick Reply
when you reduce an equation to its simplest terms, you can't change the value of the equation. reducing it to y + 5 is equivalent to dividing it by 9 which changes the value. you can multiply it by 1 or 9/9 which would give 9(y + 5). multiplying it by one does not change the value.
