Hello!

Answer:


\boxed{y=-20}\checkmark

The answer should have a negative sign.

Explanation:

First, you switch sides.


y+5=-15

Then, you subtract by 5 both sides.


y+5-5=-15-5

Finally, you simplify.


-15-5=-20


y=-20, which is our answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer:

y = -20

Explanation:

5 + y = -15

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate y.

y = -15 - 5

y = -20
