Question 557049: 3[4(y+2)-(y+5)]=3(3y+1)
3[4y+8-y+5]=9y+3
3[3y+13]=9y+3
9y+39=9y+3
9y+36=9y
36=0
no solution
is this correct?

Here is the answer: 3[4(y+2)-(y+5)]=3(3y+1)
3[4y+8-y-5]=9y+3
3[3y+3]=9y+3
9y+9=9y+3
9y+6=9y
0=6
This is a no solution problem, but the only mistake that I noticed, was that in the second stage, you didn't change the -(y+5) into -y-5. Otherwise, the answer would be correct.
