Solve y=5-2(23/5)

$$y=5-2(2 \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } )$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{1}{5}=-0.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$y=5-2\times \frac{10+3}{5}$$

Add 10 and 3 to get 13.

$$y=5-2\times \frac{13}{5}$$

Express 2\times \frac{13}{5} as a single fraction.

$$y=5-\frac{2\times 13}{5}$$

Multiply 2 and 13 to get 26.

$$y=5-\frac{26}{5}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{25}{5}.

$$y=\frac{25}{5}-\frac{26}{5}$$

Since \frac{25}{5} and \frac{26}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{25-26}{5}$$

Subtract 26 from 25 to get -1.

$$y=-\frac{1}{5}$$

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{1}{5}$$
