Solve for yy.
minus, 11, equals, minus, 22, plus, start fraction, y, divided by, 5, end fraction
−11=
−22+
5
y
​

Answer 1

Based on your expression, we are trying to solve for \( y \) in the following equation:

\[
-11 = -22 + \frac{y}{5}
\]

First, let's add 22 to both sides to isolate the fraction on the right side:

\[
-11 + 22 = -22 + 22 + \frac{y}{5}
\]

\[
11 = \frac{y}{5}
\]

Now, to solve for \( y \), we multiply both sides by 5:

\[
5 \times 11 = y
\]

\[
y = 55
\]

So, \( y = 55 \).
