Exercise 91 Page 177

Use the Division Property of Equality to isolate y on one side of the equation.

-15/22

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate y on one side. Using the Division Property of Equality, we will divide both sides of the equation by - 22. This will isolate the y-term.
15=-22y
15/-22=y
-15/22=y
y=-15/22
The correct solution is y=- 1522.
