Question

First try was incorrectSolve for y: -51 = 5y - 26

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We can do the following steps to solve the equation.

Step 1: Add 26 from both sides.

`\begin{gathered} -51+26=5y-26+26 \\ -25=5y \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Divide by 5 from both sides.

`\begin{gathered} (-25)/(5)=(5y)/(5) \\ -5=y \end{gathered}`Answer

The solution of the equation is y = -5.
