Answer 2

First, we can simplify the left side of the equation:

-3(x + 2) = -3x - 6

Now, we can substitute this expression into the equation:

-3x - 6 = 5y

Next, we can isolate the y variable on one side of the equation by dividing both sides by 5:

-3x/5 - 6/5 = y

Finally, to find the value of y when x = -1, we substitute -1 for x in the expression:

-3(-1)/5 - 6/5 = y

-3/5 - 6/5 = y

-9/5 = y

So, when x = -1, y = -9/5.
