Solve the equation: 27 = 17 - 5y

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

27 = 17 - 5y

27-17=17-5y-17

10=-5y

10/-5=-5y/-5

-2=y

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
