Solve 11-5y+17=6y-5-11-16y

$$11-5y+17 = 6y-5-11-16y$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{44}{5} = -8\frac{4}{5} = -8.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 11 and 17 to get 28.

$$28-5y=6y-5-11-16y$$

Subtract 11 from -5 to get -16.

$$28-5y=6y-16-16y$$

Combine 6y and -16y to get -10y.

$$28-5y=-10y-16$$

Add 10y to both sides.

$$28-5y+10y=-16$$

Combine -5y and 10y to get 5y.

$$28+5y=-16$$

Subtract 28 from both sides.

$$5y=-16-28$$

Subtract 28 from -16 to get -44.

$$5y=-44$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$y=\frac{-44}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-44}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{44}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{44}{5}$$
