Question

-2(3y+3)=-4 find the value of 5y​

Answer 1

`5y = - 2 - y`

Explanation:

`- 2(3y + 3) = - 4`

First, let's solve the brackets. Multiply 3y and 3 with -2 to get -6y -6.

`- 6y - 6 = - 4`

Now, send -6 to the other side.

`- 6y = - 4 + 6`

`- 6y = 2`

As we want to find out the value of 5y, we have to make -6y into 5y. To do that let's first change -6y into positive by multiplying the whole equation by -1.

`- ( - 6y) = - (2)`

`6y = - 2`

Next subtract y from each side to get 5y.

`6y - y = - 2 - y`

`5y = - 2 - y`

Viola! Here's the value of 5y.

Hope this helped!
