Question

If 3(y-1) = y -5. y = ____________.

Answer 1

y = -1

Explanation:

`3(y-1)=y-5\\\\3y-3=y-5\\\\3y-3+3=y-5+3\\\\3y=y-2\\\\3y-y=y-y-2\\\\2y=-2\\\\(2y=-2)/(2)\\\\\boxed{y=-1}`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

-1 is the answer

Explanation:

the question is 3(y-1)=y-5

so, we open the bracets and multiply

so it becomes 3y-3 = y-5

now, we transpose

3y-y =-5+3

2y = -2

y= -2/2 = -1
