Answer:

y=-138/5=-27 3/5 = -27.6

Explanation:

5(y+25)=−13

Divide both sides by 5.

y+25=-13/5

Subtract 25 from both sides.

y=-13/5−25

Convert 25 to fraction 125/5

y=-13/5-125/5

Since -13/5 and 125/5 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

y=-13 - 125/5

Subtract 125 from −13 to get −138.

y=-138/5
