Question

Need answer ASAP please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

1) X = -7

2) y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

$- 3x - 5 = 16 \\ - 3x = 16 + 5 \\ - 3x = 21 \\ \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{21}{ - 3} \\ x = \frac{21}{ - 3} \\ x = - 7$

2)

$- 4(y - 2) = 12 \\ - 4y - 8 = 12 \\ - 4y = 12 + 8 \\ - 4y = 20 \\ \frac{ - 4y}{ - 4} = \frac{20}{ - 4} \\ y = \frac{20}{ - 4} \\ y = - 5$
