Question

5(y + ⅖) = -13 May i pleas get help

Answer 1

y = -3

Explanation:

You want the solution to the equation 5(y +2/5) = -13.

Solution

This is a 2-step equation.

Step 1, divide by 5:

y +2/5 = -13/5

Step 2, subtract 2/5

y = -13/5 -2/5 = -15/5

y = -3

Answer 2

Answer: y = -3

Explanation:

`\boldsymbol{\sf{Exercise\:solution \longmapsto \ 5\left(y+(2)/(5)\right)=-13 }}`

We multiply each term between kinship by 5.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{5y+5*(2)/(5)=-13 }}`

We calculate the product of rational numbers.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{5y+2=-13 }}`

The constant moves to the right side and the sign is changed.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{5y=-13-2 }}`

We find the sum of two negative numbers.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{5y=-15 }}`

We divide both sides by the same number.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{5y=-15 \ It \ changes \ y=(-5)/(5) =-3} }\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{y=-3 }}}\boldsymbol{\sf{ \ \longmapsto \ Answer}}`
