Question

Solve equation . show or explain your method
5(y+2/5)=−13

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can use simple algebraic principles for this. First we distribute:

5(y + 2/5) = -13

5y + 10/5 = -13

5y + 2 = -13

Now we isolate the variable term:

5y + 2 = -13

5y = -15

Now we divide to isolate the variable itself:

5y = -15

y = -3

Hope this helps!
