Question

5(y+2/5)=-13
what is y

Answer 1

y=-3

Explanation:

5(y+2/5) = -13

5y+2 = -13

subtract 2 from each side

5y+2-2 = -13-2

5y = -15

divide each side by 5

5y/5 = -15/5

y=-3

check:

5(y+2/5) = -13

substitute -3 for y

5(-3)+2/5) = -13

-15+2= -13

-13 = -13

Answer 2

y=11/5

Explanation:

first divide by 5 on both sides

y+2/5=-13/5

subtract 2/5 on both sides to isolate the y

y=11/5
