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.
