Question

5y - 10 = -25
Responses
A y = 3y = 3
B y = 7y = 7
C y = -3y = -3
D y = -7y = -7
E y = -5

Answer 1

To solve the equation 5y - 10 = -25, we can first add 10 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with y:

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 to the equation is y = -3.

Therefore, the correct response is C: y = -3.
