Question

−3(y+5)=15 someone please help me with this question my assignment is already late

Answer 1

Answer: -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-3(y + 5) = 15

Reorder the terms:

-3(5 + y) = 15

(5 * -3 + y * -3) = 15

(-15 + -3y) = 15

Solving

-15 + -3y = 15

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + -3y = 15 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + -3y = 15 + 15

-3y = 15 + 15

Combine like terms: 15 + 15 = 30

-3y = 30

Divide each side by '-3'.

y = -10
