Question

12(5+2y)=4y-(5-9y) how to solve

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5 10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

12(5+2y)=4y-(5-9y)

Distribute

12*5 +12*2y = 4y - 5 +9y

60 +24y = 4y - 5 +9y

Combine like terms

60+24y =13y -5

Subtract 13 y from each side

60 +24y-13y=13y-13y -5

60+11y = -5

Subtract 60 from each side

60+11y-60 =-5 -60

11y = -65

Divide by 11

11y/11 = -65/11

y =-65/11

Change to a mixed number

11 goes into 65 5 times (5*11=55) with 10 left over

y = -5 10/11
