How to solve Y - 5 = 3y - 25

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$Y-5=3y-25$$

Solve for Y

$Y=3y-20$

Show Solution

Solve for y

$y=\frac{Y+20}{3}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$3y-25=Y-5$$

Add $25$ to both sides.

$$3y=Y-5+25$$

Add $-5$ and $25$ to get $20$.

$$3y=Y+20$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{Y+20}{3}$$

Dividing by $3$ undoes the multiplication by $3$.

$$y=\frac{Y+20}{3}$$
