Question

Solve the equation.– 2y - 15 = 4y + 15y=

Answer 1

Given the equation;

$-2y-15\text{ = 4y+15}$

You are to calculate the value of y. This is as shown below;

First collect the like terms;

$\begin{gathered} -2y\text{ - 4y = 15+15} \\ \end{gathered}$

Evaaluate the expression an find y;

$\begin{gathered} -6y=30 \\ \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides by -6;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{30}{-6} \\ y\text{ = -5} \end{gathered}$

Hence the value of y is -5
