(-3)/(5)y=-15
Does y=25
no. First multiply both sides by 5y, giving you
-3=-45y, then divide by -45
-3/-45 = y this reduces to 1/15
The way that Jena typed her question, her answer is correct
(-3)/(5)y=-15
or
(-3/5)y = -15
-3y = -75
y = 25
To solve for y in the equation (-3)/(5)y = -15, follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
(5) * ((-3)/(5))y = (5) * (-15)
-3y = -75
2. Divide both sides of the equation by -3 to isolate the y variable:
-3y / -3 = -75 / -3
y = 25
Therefore, the value of y that satisfies the equation (-3)/(5)y = -15 is y = 25.
