Question

Consider the following Expression.
-3(y+3)=2y+3
What Is the value of y?

Answer 1

y= -12/5

Decimal form: -2.4

Explanation:

Distribute the negative 3 on the left side

-3y-9=2y+3

Add 3y to both sides

-9=5y+3

Subtract 3 from both sides

-12=5y

Divide by 5 on both sides

y=-12/5 or -2.4
