Question

Complete the process of solving the equation.
Fill in the missing term and select the missing description. Simplify any fractions.
y/–16–13=–13
y/–16=0
Add 13 to both sides
Subtract 13 from both sides
Multiply both sides by 13
Divide both sides by 13
Apply the distributive property
y=
Multiply both sides by
–
16

Answer 1

the answer is:
y=0
add 13 to both sides

Answer 2

Let's solve the equation step by step and fill in the missing terms and descriptions.

Starting from the original equation:

\[ \frac{y}{-16} - 13 = -13 \]

1. **Step 1**: Add 13 to both sides.
\[
\frac{y}{-16} - 13 + 13 = -13 + 13
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{y}{-16} = 0
\]

2. **Step 2**: Now we need to isolate \(y\). To do this, multiply both sides by \(-16\):
\[
-16 \cdot \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \cdot -16
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y = 0
\]

So, the completed process is:

- **Fill in the missing term**: \(y = 0\)
- **Select the missing description**: "Multiply both sides by -16"

Thus, the final answer is:
- \(y = 0\)
- Multiply both sides by \(-16\)

Answer 3

Thank you for your patience. Let's correct the step-by-step solution accordingly.

Given the original equation:

\[
\frac{y}{-16} - 13 = -13
\]

1. **Step 1**: Add 13 to both sides.
\[
\frac{y}{-16} - 13 + 13 = -13 + 13
\]
Simplifies to:
\[
\frac{y}{-16} = 0
\]

2. **Step 2**: To isolate \(y\), multiply both sides by \(-16\):
\[
-16 \cdot \frac{y}{-16} = 0 \cdot -16
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y = 0
\]

So, the completed statement is:
- **Final answer**: \(y = 0\)
- **Description**: "Add 13 to both sides"
