Question 113944


{{{12(y+5)=13y+2}}} Start with the given equation




{{{12y+60=13y+2}}} Distribute



{{{12y=13y+2-60}}}Subtract 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=(-58)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by -1 to isolate y




{{{y=58}}} Divide


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=58}}}
