5(y + 3) = 5y + 3
y= ?

There isnt a possible answer because there is no whole

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was for example 5(y+3)=55

then you could simplify it to 5y+15=55

then 5y=40

y=8

but that isnt how you put it do not put this answer in

c.)

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
