Answer:
y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
You are solving for y. You want to know which value of y makes the equation true. You must end up with y alone on the left side equaling a number.
12y + 25 = -35
First, subtract 25 from both sides.
12y + 25 - 25 = -35 - 25
12y = -60
Now divide both sides by 12.
12y/12 = -60/12
y = -5
Answer: y = -5
