To solve the equation (-3(y – 5) = 24), follow these steps:
1. Distribute -3 to both terms within the parentheses:
[
-3y + 15 = 24
]
2. Isolate the variable by subtracting 15 from both sides:
[
-3y = 24 – 15
]
[
-3y = 9
]
3. Divide both sides by -3 to solve for (y):
[
y = frac{9}{-3}
]
[
y = -3
]
So, the solution is (y = -3).
