Question

12 = - 2/5 yI got -30 I want to see if I did the correct steps

Answer 1

`12=-(2)/(5)y`

Step 1: Simplify the expression

`\begin{gathered} 12=-(2)/(5)y \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 12(5)=-2y \\ 60=-2y \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Divide the both side by -2

`\begin{gathered} 60=-2y \\ (60)/(-2)=-(2y)/(-2) \\ y=-30 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the correct value of y = - 30
