solve.
$5(2y + 1) = -45$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$y = $

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5(2y+1)}{5} = \frac{-45}{5}$
$2y + 1 = -9$

Step2: Subtract 1 from both sides

$2y + 1 - 1 = -9 - 1$
$2y = -10$

Step3: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{-10}{2}$
$y = -5$

Answer:

$y = -5$
