Answer:
y=-10
Explanation:
Divide both sides by -3:
-3(y+5)/-3=15/-3
Simplify: 15/-3
y+5=-5
subtract 5 from both sides:
y+5-5=-5-5
simplify:
y = -10
Hey there!
To solve this you first have to distribute the -3 to y and 5. When you do this you get...
-3y - 15 = 15
Add 15 on both sides you get...
-3y = 30
Divide by -3 and you get...
Hope this helped :)
