Answer:

y = -1/10 or -0.1

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100.

To find the opposite of 5y−17, find the opposite of each term.

The opposite of −17 is 17.

Combine 155y and −5y to get 150y.

Subtract 17 from both sides.

Subtract 17 from 2 to get −15.

Divide both sides by 150.

​Reduce the fraction

​ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.
