Question

Find y: 5 + y = -15

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\boxed{y=-20}\checkmark`

The answer should have a negative sign.

Explanation:

First, you switch sides.

`y+5=-15`

Then, you subtract by 5 both sides.

`y+5-5=-15-5`

Finally, you simplify.

`-15-5=-20`

`y=-20`, which is our answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

y = -20

Explanation:

5 + y = -15

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate y.

y = -15 - 5

y = -20
