-3=12y-5(2y-7)

Answer 1

Simplify:

−3=12y−5(2y−7)

−3=12y+(−5)(2y)+(−5)(−7)(Distribute)

−3=12y+−10y+35

−3=(12y+−10y)+(35)(Combine Like Terms)

−3=2y+35

Flip the equation.

2y+35=−3

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2y+35−35=−3−35

2y=−38

Divide both sides by 2.

2y/2=−38/2

y=−19

Answer 2

-3 = 12y -5(2y-7)

-3 = 12y +(-5)*2y + (-5)*(-7)

-3 = 12y -10y + 35

-3 = 2y +35

2y= -3 -35

2y = -38

Therefore:

y=-19

As 2*(-19) = -38
