Question

Need answer ASAP please!!

Answer 1

1) X = -7

2) y = - 5

Explanation:

1)

`- 3x - 5 = 16 \\ - 3x = 16 + 5 \\ - 3x = 21 \\ ( - 3x)/( - 3) = (21)/( - 3) \\ x = (21)/( - 3) \\ x = - 7`

2)

`- 4(y - 2) = 12 \\ - 4y - 8 = 12 \\ - 4y = 12 + 8 \\ - 4y = 20 \\ ( - 4y)/( - 4) = (20)/( - 4) \\ y = (20)/( - 4) \\ y = - 5`
