Question

-1/2y=1/2+5 what is the solution?

Answer 1

`( - 1)/( \: \: \: 2) y = (1)/(2) + 5`

`( - 1)/( \: \: \:2) * y = (1)/(2) + 5`

`( - 1)/( \: \: \:2) * y = (11)/(2)`

`y = (11)/(2) / ( - 1)/( \: \: \:2)`

`y = (11)/(2) * ( \: \: \: 2)/( - 1)`

`y = ( \: \: 22)/( - 2)`

`y = - 11`

The value of y = -11

Therefore :-

`( - 1)/( \: \: \:2) * - 11 = (1)/(2) + 5`

Answer 2

-11

Explanation:

-1/2y=1/2+5

- 1/2 y = 1+10 (by taking lcm)

2

`(-1)/(2)` x 2y = 11

y = -11
