Question

Solve 2=-12+15(y-5) for y. round to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

y=5.933

Explanation:

2=-12+15(y-5)

2=-12+15y-75

2=15y-87

89=15y

5.933=y

Answer 2

Given that 2 = -12+ 15(y - 5)

Open the parenthesis by multiplying the terms in it by 15

2 = -12 + 15y -75

Collect like terms

15y = 2 + 12 + 75

15y = 89

y = 89/15

y = 5.93333333

To the nearest thousandth

y = 5.933
