Question

Solve for y: 15y = 3y – 15

Type your answer in decimal form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

`15y = 3y - 15`

`15y - 3y = -15`

`12y = -15`

`y = (-15)/(12)`

`y = -1.25`

Answer 2

Answer: y = -1.25

Explanation:

To solve for y in 15y = 3y – 15

First, we combine like terms

3y - 15y = 15

-12y = 15

Divide both sides by -12

y = 15/ -12

y = - 1.25
