39=-17(y+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to multiply whats in the parentheses by - 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got -51 then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you should have 39 = -17y - 51

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you need to get the -51 on the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so add 51 to each side The 51 will disapear on the right and the 39 will become 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should give you 90 = -17y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to divide both sides by - 17 now so that should looklike - 5.3 = y
