Question

3y-2(y+5)=5y-22 what is the answer. I got y=8

Answer 1

Well actually when i did this equation i got y=3 so you might want to recheck your answer and take another look at the steps you took.

Hopefully this helped you ^0^

Answer 2

Expand

3y - 2y - 10 = 5y - 22

Simplify 3y - 2y - 10 to y - 10

y - 10 = 5y - 22

Subtract y from both sides

-10 = 5y - 22 - y

Simplify 5y - 22 - y to 4y - 22

-10 = 4y - 22

Add 22 to both sides

-10 + 22 = 4y

Simplify -10 + 22 to 12

12 = 4y

Divide both sides by 4

12/4 = y

Simplify 12/4 to 3

3 = y

Switch sides

Answer: y = 3
