What is the answer for -5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

1 answer:

3 0

First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right.
-5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y
Combine like terms on the right and left
-4 -15y = 13y -32
Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other.
Subtract 13y from both sides
-4 -28y = -32
Add 4 to both sides
-28y = -28
Divide both sides by -28
y = 1
