To solve the equation, we can begin by simplifying both sides:
-2y + (7/5)y = -4 - (3/5)y - 2
Next, we can combine like terms on each side:
(-2 + 7/5)y = -4 - 3/5y - 2
(-10/5 + 7/5)y = -4 - 3/5y - 2
(-3/5)y = -4 - 3/5y - 2
Next, we can eliminate the denominators by multiplying every term in the equation by 5:
(5)(-3/5)y = (5)(-4 - 3/5y - 2)
-3y = -20 - 3y - 10
Now, we can simplify the equation further:
-3y + 3y = -20 - 10
0 = -30
The equation yields a contradiction (0 = -30), which means that there is no solution that satisfies the equation. Therefore, the answer is "No solution".
Solve negative 2 times y plus seven fifths times y equals negative 4 minus three fifths times y minus 2 for y.
y = 0
y = −13
