Question

how to make this math expression true 5y+13=3?

Answer 1

5y + 13 = 3

 

So we want to find the value of 'y' for when this expression is true.

So let's subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:

5y + 13 - 13 = 3 - 13

5y = - 10

 

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to find the value of 'y' :

(5y)/5 = ( - 10)/5

y = - 2

 

So this expression is true when y = - 2
