Question 1

Y+
+-5 = -1
y =
What is y=what

Question 2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\tt y = 4}$

Explanation:

$\textsf{We are asked for the value of y.}$

$\textsf{To begin, we are given an equation. Note that our goal is to find y, so we should}$

$\textsf{isolate y.}$

$\large\underline{\textsf{To Isolate y;}}$

$\textsf{Usually, isolation is segregation, or to keep alone. Basically, y should be the only}$

$\textsf{term on the left side of the equation.}$

$\large\underline{\textsf{To Solve;}}$

$\textsf{We just need to isolate y, then we should have our value.}$

$\large\underline{\textsf{Our Equation;}}$

$\tt y+(-5)=-1$

$\textsf{Note that when we add a negative, we are actually subtracting.}$

$\tt y-5=-1$

$\large\underline{\textsf{Solving;}}$

$\textsf{Remove -5 on the left side by adding 5 to both sides of the equation.}$

$\tt y-5+5=-1+5$

$\underline{\textsf{Hence;}}$

$\large\boxed{\tt y = 4}$
