To solve the equation, we can follow the steps:
3(y-5) + 2 = 5
First, distribute 3 to (y-5):
3y - 15 + 2 = 5
Combine like terms:
3y - 13 = 5
Next, isolate the variable by adding 13 to both sides:
3y = 18
Lastly, divide both sides by 3 to solve for y:
y = 6
Therefore, the solution is y = 6, so the correct option is d.
3(y-5)+2=5 a. y=4 b. y=7 c. y=-4 d. y=6
