Question

Solve for y: |3y+7|−10=−5

Answer 1

|3y+7|-10=-5  add 10 to both sides

|3y+7|=5  now since this is an absolute value equation we must solve for both the positive and negative solutions...

3y+7=5  subtract 7 from both sides

3y=-2  divide both sides by 3

y=-2/3

Now

3y+7=-5  subtract 7 from both sides

3y=-12  divide both sides by 3

y=-4

So y=-2/3 and -4

Answer 2

Answer:
y=-2/3 and -4
