Question

if 5y - 3 = 17 then y = ........ ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

5y + -3 = 17

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5y = 17

Solving

-3 + 5y = 17

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 5y = 17 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 5y = 17 + 3

5y = 17 + 3

Combine like terms: 17 + 3 = 20

5y = 20

Divide each side by '5'.

y = 4

Simplifying

y = 4
