Question

3(y+2/5)=−1/5
Solve for y

Answer 1

y = -7/3 or -2.333

Explanation:

3(y+2 / 5) = -1/5 ------- First you need to do what is outside of the paranthesis which is 3, so divide both sides by 3.

(y + 2 / 5) = -1/15 ------- Next, you multiply both sides by 5 given the denominator is 5 on the left side.

y + 2 = -1/3 -------- Now you just subtract 2 from both sides.

y = - 7 /3 ---------- Answer
