Answer:

y = 5, y = -5

Explanation:

In this question, you would have to solve the equation for "y".

Solve:

-3y² = -75

Divide both sides by -3.

y² = 25

Square root both sides to cancel out the exponent.

√y² = √25

y = ±√25

Simplify the square root for both positive and negative terms.

y = 5

y = -5

Your final answer would be y = 5 and y = -5
