Answer 2

Answer:

the answer would be 4

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(4y)=4+5y−72

−12y=4+5y+−72

−12y=(5y)+(4+−72)(Combine Like Terms)

−12y=5y+−68

−12y=5y−68

Step 2: Subtract 5y from both sides.

−12y−5y = 5y−68−5y

−17y= −68

Step 3: Divide both sides by -17.

−17y                    -68

------------       =   -----------

-17                        -17

y = 4
