Question

which value of y would satisfy the equation 5y+8=3y--2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→ 5y + 8 = 3y + 2

→ 5y - 3y = 2 - 8

→ 2y = -6

→ y = -6/2

→ y = -3

→ CHECK :

→ y = -3

→ 5(-3) + 8 = 3(-3) + 2

→ -15 + 8 = -9 + 2

→ -7 = -7

→ hence R.H.S IS EQUAL TO L.H.S

→ hence the vale of y = -3

Answer 2

Answer:

$y = - 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5y + 8 = 3y - 2 \\ 5y - 3y = - 2 - 8 \\ 2y = - 10 \\ y = \frac{ - 10}{2} \\ y = - 5$

Verification:

$5y + 8 = 3y - 2 \\ 5( - 5) + 8 = 3( - 5) - 2 \\ - 25 + 8 = - 15 - 2 \\ - 17 = - 17$

hence L.H.S = R.H.S
