Question

3. Solve the following equation for
y. (5 points)
-x - 5y = -29 + 4y - y +5​

Answer 1

Im pretty sure its 2 but not exactly

Answer 2

Explanation:

-x - 5y = -29 + 4y - y + 5

Add x to both sides

-x - 5y + x = -29 + 4y - y + 5 + x

-5y = 4y - y -29 +5 + x {Add the like terms}

-5y = 3y - 24 + x {subtract 3y form both sides}

-5y - 8y = 3y - 24 + x - 3y

-13y = x - 24

Divide both sides by (-13)

y = (x-24)/-13

y = -(x-24)/13
