5y%2B13=5%28y%2B13%29 Start with the given equation.


5y%2B13=5y%2B65 Distribute.


5y=5y%2B65-13 Subtract 13 from both sides.


5y-5y=65-13 Subtract 5y from both sides.


0y=65-13 Combine like terms on the left side.


0y=52 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=52 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.
