Solve the equation

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).
