Answer:

y = -1

Explanation:

*Assuming we have to solve for Y*

Midpoint is a point that divides a line segment exactly in halve therefore making both sides of the segment equal to each other.

Now let's set these two lengths equal to each other and solve for Y:

5y +(I think you meant plus) 13 = 5 - 3Y

5y + 13 = 5 - 3y

-5 -5

5y + 8 = -3y

-5y -5y

8 = -8y

/-8 /-8

y = -1
