12 (5+2y) = 4y - (5-9y) how to solve

y = - 5 10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

12 (5+2y) = 4y - (5-9y)

Distribute

12*5 + 12*2y = 4y - 5 + 9y

60 + 24y = 4y - 5 + 9y

Combine like terms

60+24y = 13y - 5

Subtract 13 y from each side

60 + 24y-13y=13y-13y - 5

60+11y = - 5

Subtract 60 from each side

60+11y-60 = -5 - 60

11y = - 65

Divide by 11

11y/11 = - 65/11

y = -65/11

Change to a mixed number

11 goes into 65 5 times (5*11=55) with 10 left over

y = - 5 10/11
