(7y++2)=-5 what is the aswer to this oroblem

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

Thanks for using !

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
