Question

I need this ASAP I know its an easy question but I have been in this class for hours now and have a headache.

Answer 1

y=-27

Explanation:

-(y-5)=-2(y+11)

-y+5=-2y-22

-y+2y=-22-5

y=-27

Answer 2

Answer: y = -27

Solve for y by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable. As a result we get y = -27.

Explanation:

You want to first distribute:

-(y - 5) = -2(y + 11)

-y + 5 = -2(y + 11)

You want to then distribute again:

-y + 5 = -2(y + 11)

-y + 5 = -2y - 22

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

-y + 5 - 5 = -2y - 22 - 5

Solve and simplify:

y = -27

Solution:

y = -27
