Answer:
-5.90 = y
Step-by-step explanation:
12(5 +2y) = 4y -( 5 - 9y)
1. Distribute
60 + 24y = 4y -5 + 9y
2. Add like terms
60 + 24y = -5 + 13y
3. Add 5 on both sides
60 + 24y +5 = -5 + 13y +5
65 + 24y = 13y
4. Subtract 24y on both sides
65 + 24y -24y = 13y -24y
65 = -11y
5. Divide -11 on both sides
65/-11 = -11y/-11
-5.90 = y
