Answer:
Hi there! The solution to this equation is y = -17. To solve this equation, distribute -
5+3(−4)=5(+2)−
5+3−12=5(+2)−
Subtract the numbers -
−7+3=5(+2)−
Rearrange terms -
3−7=5(+2)−
Distribute -
3−7=5+10−
Combine like terms -
3−7=4+10
Add 7 to both sides of the equation and simplify -
3−7+7=4+10+7
3=4+17
Subtract 4y from both sides of the equation and simplify -
3−4=4+17−4
-y = 17
Divide both sides of the equation by -1 and simplify -
y = -17
Have a great day! :)
