Add 8 to both sides

3y=1/2y+8 then subtract 1/2y

2 1/2=8 then divide by 2.5 to get y=3.2

Hope this helps!

Answer: $\bold{C)\ -\dfrac{1}{2}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$.\qquad \dfrac{x+2}{15}=\dfrac{x+1}{5}\\\\\\\rightarrow (15)\dfrac{x+2}{15}=\dfrac{x+1}{5}(15)\\\\\\\rightarrow x+2=3(x+1)\\\\\rightarrow x+2=3x+3\\\\\rightarrow \qquad 2=2x+3\\\\\rightarrow \qquad -1=2x\\\\\rightarrow \qquad -\dfrac{1}{2}=x$
