Question

Solve for y. 105 = 5y + 15 Simplify your answer as much as possible. ​

Answer 1

y = 18

Explanation:

1. Re-arrange: 5y + 15 = 105
2. Subtract 15 from each side, so it now looks like this: 5y = 90
3. Divide each side by 5 to cancel out the 5 next to y. It should now look like this: y = 18

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

105 = 5y + 15
