Question

What is this one??
-5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

Answer 1

y=1

Explanation:

Let's solve by opening the bracket first

-5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

Open the bracket

-5-15y+1=14y-32-y

Collect like terms

-5+1+32=14y-y+15y

-5+33=14y+14y

28=28y

Divide both sides by 28

y=1

Therefore the final answer is 1
