Solve (15-y) 5=y - ScanMath

Evaluate

(15 - y) \times 5 = y

Multiply the terms

5 (15 - y) = y

Expand the expression

More Steps

75 - 5 y = y

Move the variable to the left side

75 - 5 y - y = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

75 - 6 y = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 6 y = 0 - 75

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 6 y = - 75

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

6 y = 75

Divide both sides

\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{75}{6}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{75}{6}

Solution

y = \frac{25}{2}

Alternative Form

y = 12.5
