Answer:
-28
Step-by-step explanation:
Find 5y-3 , given -3y - 8 = 7.
First, we will multiply -3y - 8 = 7 by [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex] to get 5y first.
[tex]-\frac{5}{3} (-3y-8)=-\frac{5}{3} (7)\\5y+\frac{40}{3} =-\frac{35}{3} \\[/tex]
Now we will get the constant on the left side of the equation to 3.
[tex]5y+\frac{40}{3} -\frac{40}{3} =-\frac{35}{3} -\frac{40}{3} \\5y=-25\\5y-3=-25-3\\5y-3=-28[/tex]
