Question

-10y+18=-17y+21+5y is what?

Answer 1

Let's find the value of y that satifies the equation:

- 10y + 18 = - 17y + 21 + 5y

- 10y + 17y - 5y = 21 - 18

2y = 3

y = 3 / 2

The y value in the equation it's 3/2, or, 1.5.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

-10y + 18 = -17y + 21 + 5y Combine like terms (-17y and 5y)
-10y + 18 = -12y + 21 Add 12y to both sides
2y + 18 = 21 Subtract 18 from both sides
2y = 3 Divide both sides by 2
y =
`(3)/(2)`
