Problem: $\"2y%2B5=-3y-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Add 3y on both sides, we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y%2B3y%2B5=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Deduct 5 on both sides, we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y%2B3y=-10-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y=-15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide by 5 on both sides to find the value of y:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-15%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-3\"$ <--- here's your answer! \n" ); document.write( "
