Answer:
-2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 5(y+2)= -3
Do the parentheses (Multiply 5 by Y and 2): 5y+10=-3
Simplify (subtract 10 from both sides): 5y=-13
Simplify again (divide both sides by 5): y=-2.6
Double-Check:
Given (replace -2.6 for Y): 5(-2.6+2)=-3
Do the parentheses (Add-2.6 and 2): 5(-0.6)=-3
Simplify (Multiply 5 by -0.6): -3=-3 ✔️
The answer checks out.
