Question

Someone help me solve; 5(3y+2)=13+3y
(please show work)

Answer 1

Expand the right side of the equation.

Answer 2

15y+10=13+3y

Answer 3

@bloopman

Answer 4

Subtract 3y from both sides of the equation.

Answer 5

so you have:
5(3y+2) = 13+3y <<<First simplify the mess... distribute and combine like terms
15y+10 = 13+3y <<< get all of the same term on one side (start with the variables)
12y = 3 <<<divide to solve for the variable
y = 1/4

Answer 6

12y+10=13 @bloopman

Answer 7

Alright, finally, subtract 10 from both sides. 12y = 3. Divide both sides by 12 and simplify.

Answer 8

y=.25 thank you! :)
