The word 'difference' indicates the use of subtraction in a Mathematical sum
The error is that the sum could be 15 - 5y instead of 5y - 15
A subtraction sum does not have the commutative properties, meaning that we cannot do the sum in any order.
A sum 15 - 5y will give a different result with the sum 5y - 15 for the same value of y.
75% of 52 would be 39.
The first step would be to multiply 52 by 0.75 (turning the percentage into a decimal). After that, it should come out as 39.

-3x/2 - 9 = -27
-3x/2 = -27 + 9
-3x/2 = -18
-3x = -18 * 2
-3x = -36
x = 36/3
x = 12
*negative thirty-six turned into negative thirty-six over three, but since both numbers were negative, we had to make it positive in order to simplify, so that's why the answer is twelve, and not negative twelve.
