Question 610906
{{{-3(5y-2)+7y=-2(y+5)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-15y+6+7y=-2y-10}}} Distribute.



{{{-8y+6=-2y-10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-8y=-2y-10-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{-8y+2y=-10-6}}} Add {{{2y}}} to both sides.



{{{-6y=-10-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6y=-16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(-16)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=8/3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=8/3}}}
