Question

Solve the equation:
-3(y+5)=15
​

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=-10`

Simplify both sides of the equation

`(-3)(y)+(-3)(5)=15(Distribute)\\-3y+-15=15`

Add 15 to both sides

`-3y-15+15=15+15\\-3y=30`

Divide both sides by -3

`(-3y)/(-3) =(30)/(-3) \\x=-10`

Answer 2

y = -10

Explanation:

-3(y+5)=15

Divide each side by -3

-3/-3 (y+5)=15/-3

y+5 = -5

Subtract 5 from each side

y+5-5=-5-5

y = -10
