You can't see where the terms are separated. Is it 3-3.5 + y + 5=-2.3 + 15? Please check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3 and 3/5+y+5 and 2/3=15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 3.5 + y + 5 2.3 = 15

Hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your possible answer are wrong

I see now. You wrote the mixed numbers as decimals so I was confused. 3 3/5+ y + 5 2/3 = 15. The first thing you need to do is convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. Do you know how to do that?

18/5 + y + 17/3 = 15. You need to add 18/5 and 17/3, but the denominators need to be the same. Multiply the numerator and denominator of 18/5 by 3 and the numerator and denominator of 17/3 by 5. 54/15 + 85/15 + y = 15. 139/15 + y = 15 Subtract 139/15 from both sides. y = 86/15 or 5 11/15. The answer is B.
