Question

Solve for x

answer as a reduced fraction or as an integer. NO DECIMALS
2(4y + 5) = 52y + 3 [-7 -5 (-3 + 3y)]

Answer 1

`y=14`

Explanation:

`2(4y+5)=52y+3 [-7 -5 (-3 + 3y)]`

distributive property:

`8y+10=52y+3 (-7 +15-15y)`

`8y+10=52y+24-45y`

simplify:

`y=14`

Assuming you meant solve for y, correct me if I'm wrong.
