Question

Solve for y in 2y + 5 = - 3y - 10.*

Answer 1

the answer is 3 because you have to cancel each other so 2y-2y which equals 0 and then you bring the 2y over to -3y and -3y-2y equals to 5y. then you have to cancel 5 out and you do 5-5 which equals 0 then -5-10 which equals 15. then you want to divide 15 and 5y which equals to 3. i hope this helps :)

Answer 2

y = -3

Explanation:

2y +3y = -10 -5 (collect the terms then calculate)

5y = -15 ( divide both sides )

then you'll get your answer which is y = -3
