Answer: y= -1

Explanation:

Add 5 to both sides,

y-5+5=-9y-15+5

Simplify,

y=-9y-10

Add 9y to both sides,

y+9y=-9y-10+9y

Simplify,

10y=-10

Divide both sides by ten.

10y over 10 = -10 over 10

There you go!

Answer: -1

Explanation:

Y-5=3-9(y+2)

Open the bracket first.

9(y+2)

9y-18.

Y-5=3-9y-18

Collect like terms

Y+9y=3-18+5

10y=-10

Divide both sides by 10

Y= -10/10

Y= -1
