The statements and reasons are:
[tex]\frac{2y -1}{-3} = -5[/tex] --- Given
[tex]2y - 1 = 15[/tex] ---- Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]2y = 16[/tex] ---- Add 1 to both sides
[tex]y = 8[/tex] --- Proved
Given
[tex]\frac{2y -1}{-3} = -5[/tex]
Multiply by -3
[tex]2y - 1 = 15[/tex]
Add 1 to both sides
[tex]2y = 16[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]y = 8[/tex]
Hence, y has been proved to be 8.
