\n" ); document.write( " 7-(-y-5)= 2(y+3)-6(y+1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "want to know if I should distributive only the neg. sign to the -y or the 7
\n" ); document.write( "at the beginning of the problem, I came up with 5 over 11y
\n" ); document.write( "but text book states -12 over 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " The - sign should be distributive only to -y &-5 and not 7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " The solution goes like this : 7-(-y-5) = 2(y+3)-6(y+1)
\n" ); document.write( " 7+y+5 = 2y+6-6y-6
\n" ); document.write( " y+12 = -4y+0
\n" ); document.write( " y+4y = -12
\n" ); document.write( " 5y = -12 or y = -12/5 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
