What does y equal in this equation 5(y+2/5)=-13

Steps to solve:

5(y + 2/5) = -13

~Distributive Property

(5 * y) + (5 * 2/5) = -13

~Simplify

5y + 2 = -13

~Subtract 2 to both sides

5y + 2 - 2 = -13 - 2

~Simplify

5y = -15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5y/5 = -15/5

~Simplify

y = -3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
