Answer 1

To solve for y, we can start by isolating y on one side of the equation.

5y - 10 = -25

First, let's add 10 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -10 on the left side:

5y - 10 + 10 = -25 + 10

This simplifies to:

5y = -15

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for y:

(5y)/5 = (-15)/5

This simplifies to:

y = -3

So, the solution for y is -3.
