Question: 4y + 5= -19 but what is the answer for y? Can you simplify as much as possible please?

Answer 1

y = -6

Stage 1: Subtract 5 from the two sides.

4y+5−5=−19−5

4y=−24

Stage 2: Split both sides by 4.

`(4y)/(4)` =
`(-24)/(4)`

y = -6

Solution = -6

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

y = -6

Explanation:

4y + 5 = -19

4y = -24 (subtract 5 to both sides)

y = -6 (divide 4 to both sides)

Best of Luck!
