Solve for y - 3 (y+5) = 15

y = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3 (y+5) = 15 (distribute - 3 into the parentheses)

y + y (-3) + 5 (-3) = 15

y-3y-15=15

-2y - 15 = 15 (add 15 to both sides)

-2y = 15 + 15

-2y = 30 (divide both sides by - 2)

y = 30 / - 2 = - 15

y=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

y+5=-5

y=-10
