Solve the equation for y.

5y - 10 = -25

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5y - 10 = -25 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 10 to both sides of the equation: \[ 5y - 10 + 10 = -25 + 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5y = -15 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 5: \[ y = \frac{-15}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ y = -3 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-3} \]
