Question

Solve the equation.– 2y - 15 = 4y + 15y=

Answer 1

Given the equation;

`-2y-15\text{ = 4y+15}`

You are to calculate the value of y. This is as shown below;

First collect the like terms;

`\begin{gathered} -2y\text{ - 4y = 15+15} \\ \end{gathered}`

Evaaluate the expression an find y;

`\begin{gathered} -6y=30 \\ \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by -6;

`\begin{gathered} (-6y)/(-6)=(30)/(-6) \\ y\text{ = -5} \end{gathered}`

Hence the value of y is -5
