Answer 1

Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

10 (-5+y)-3=17

            +3  +3

10 (-5+y)=20

10/(-5+y)=20/10

-5+y=2

-5+y=2

+5   +5

y=7

Answer 2

y=70

1. distribute 10(-5+y)
-50+10y-3=17

2. combine like terms (-50 -3)
-53 + 10y = 17

3. add 53 to both sides so you can cancel out -53
10y=70

4. divide each side by 10
y=70
