Question

solve and check
5(y+6) = 5(y-3)

Answer 1

5(y+6=5(y-3)
5y+30=5y-3
5y+30+3=5y-3+3
5y+33=5y
5y+33-5y=5y-5y
y=33

Answer 2

5(y+6)=5(y-3)
5y+30=5y-15
+15 +15
5y+45=5y
-5y -5y
45=y

Answer 3

Sorry , she's right I made a mistake somewhere.

Answer 4

thank you kelsey

Answer 5

No problem once you get "y" you can plug it back in to see if you got the right answer they should equal each other.

Answer 6

I was wrong. The y's cancel out, so that means that 45=0 which is FALSE so the answer is, NO SOLUTION.

Answer 7

@BurrDaBoss 's mistake comes from not distributing correctly.

Answer 8

5(y+6)=5(y-3)
5y+30=5y-15 add 15 to both sides
5y+45=5y subtract 5y from both sides
45 = 0 impossible
no solution
@kelsey1 was right
