5(y+3)=35

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5(y + 3) = 35 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 5 to isolate the expression in the parentheses: \[ y + 3 = \frac{35}{5} \] \[ y + 3 = 7 \]

  2. Subtract 3 from both sides to solve for \( y \): \[ y = 7 - 3 \] \[ y = 4 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 4 \).
