Answer: 17/7

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. y+4/15 + 2y−5/5 = 2/5 1/15 y+ 4/15 + 2/5 y+−1= 2/5 (Distribute) ( 1/15 y+ 2/5 y)+( 4/15 +−1)= 2/5 (Combine Like Terms) 7/15 y+ −11/15 = 2/5 7/15 y+ −11/15 = 2/5 Step 2: Add 11/15 to both sides. 7/15 y+ −11/15 + 11/15 = 2/5 + 11/15 7 15 y= 17/15
