4y + 5 = -31

lol

OpenStudy (squirrels):

\[4y+5=-31\] ok SUBTRACT 5 to both sides of the equation \[4y=-36\]

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok.... now try to get y by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by subtracting 4 from both sides?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Dividing. Because "4y" is multiplication. In this case we do the opposite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -9?
