Step 1: Divide both sides by -2
\(3y+5= \frac{-4}{-2}\)
Step 2: Simplify \(\frac{4}{-2}\) to \(- \frac{4}{2}\)
\(3y+5=\frac{4}{2}\)
Step 3: Simplify \(\frac{4}{2}\) to 2
3y + 5 = 2
Step 4: Subtract 5 from both sides
3y = 2 - 5
Step 5: Simplify 2 - 5 to −3
3y = -3
Step 6: Divide both sides by 3
\(y= -\frac{3}{3}\)
Step 7: Cancel 3
y = -1
Done! :) your answer is y = -1 3
