Answer:

The answer is y = 1/2

Explanation:

-20y + 15 = 2 - 16y + 11 <----This is the original problem.

-20y + 15 = 13 - 16y <----- Use the commutative property and addition.

-20y + 15 = 16y -13 <-----Use commutative property.

-20y + 15 - 15 = 16y - 13 - 15 <----- Subtract 15 from both sides.

-20y = 16y - 2 <----- Simplify

-20y + 16y = 16y - 2 + 16y <------Add 16y to both sides.

-4y = -2 <---- Simplify

-4y/-4 = -2/-4 <---- Divide both sides by -4

y = 1/2
