Question

2. Solve the equation. (1 point)
3y + 20 = 3 + 2y

Answer 1

`y=-17`

Explanation:

THe equation is to solve for "y".

The equation given is:

`3y+20=3+2y`

We will take the variables to one side and numbers to another. Remember, side change means sign change. So we have:

`3y+20=3+2y\\3y-2y=3-20`

Now, we add like terms on left side and compute on right side to get our answer for "y":

`3y-2y=3-20\\y=-17`

So, the solution is y = -17
