8y-5%2B4y=-3y%2B13-y Start with the given equation.


12y-5=-3y%2B13-y Combine like terms on the left side.


12y-5=-4y%2B13 Combine like terms on the right side.


12y=-4y%2B13%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


12y%2B4y=13%2B5 Add 4y to both sides.


16y=13%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


16y=18 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2818%29%2F%2816%29 Divide both sides by 16 to isolate y.


y=9%2F8 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is y=9%2F8
