Question

Solve the equation.

5(y+2/5)=−13
y = ?

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

5(y+2/5)=-13

5*y+5*2/5=-3

5y+2=-13

5y=-13-2

5y=-15

5y/5=-15/5

y=-3

Answer 2

y = -3

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of y.

The equation is,

→ 5(y + (2/5)) = -13

Then the value of y will be,

→ 5(y + (2/5)) = -13

→ 5(y) + 5(2/5) = -13

→ 5y + (10/5) = -13

→ 5y + 2 = -13

→ 5y = -13 - 2

→ 5y = -15

→ y = (-15)/5

→ [ y = -3 ]

Hence, the value of y is -3.
