Step 1: Divide both sides by -2
[tex]3y+5= \frac{-4}{-2} [/tex]
Step 2: Simplify [tex] \frac{4}{-2} [/tex] to [tex]- \frac{4}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 3y+5=\frac{4}{2} [/tex]
Step 3: Simplify [tex] \frac{4}{2} [/tex] to 2
3y + 5 = 2
Step 4: Subtract 5 from both sides
3y = 2 - 5
Step 5: Simplify 2 - 5 to −3
3y = -3
Step 6: Divide both sides by 3
[tex] y= -\frac{3}{3} [/tex]
Step 7: Cancel 3
y = -1
Done! :) your answer is y = -1 3
