Answer:
y = -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
-(7y+9)-(-6y+2)=-5
-7y - 9 + 6y - 2 = -5
-y = -5 + 9 + 2
-y = 6
y = -6.
Hey there! :)
First, simplify both sides.
−(7y+9)−(−6y+2)=−5
−(7y+9)+−1(−6y+2)=−5 Distribute the Negative Sign :)
−(7y+9)+−1(−6y)+(−1)(2)=−5
−(7y+9)+6y+−2=−5
Distribute
−7y+−9+6y+−2=−6
(−7y+6y)+(−9+−2)=−5 Combine Like Terms
−y+−11=−5
−y−11=−5
11 to both sides.
−y−11+11=−5+11
−y=6
Now, divide both sides by -1.
y = -6
