Question

Solve y over negative 2 5 = 13.

Answer 1

Y/-2 + 5 = 13
y/-2 = 13 - 5 = 8
y = -2(8) = -16
y = -16

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=-16$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is written:

$-y/2+5=13$

We multiply the whole expression by 2 to get rid of the fraction:

$-y+5\cdot(2)=13\cdot(2)$

$-y+10=26$

We move -y to the right hand side to make it positive y and move 26 to the left side to subtract it from 10:

$10-26=y$

$y=-16$
