12%28y%2B5%29=13y%2B2 Start with the given equation



12y%2B60=13y%2B2 Distribute


12y=13y%2B2-60Subtract 60 from both sides


12y-13y=2-60 Subtract 13y from both sides


-y=2-60 Combine like terms on the left side


-y=-58 Combine like terms on the right side


y=%28-58%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate y



y=58 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is y=58
