Answer:
\(y=-16\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression is written:
\(-y/2+5=13\)
We multiply the whole expression by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
\(-y+5\cdot(2)=13\cdot(2)\)
\(-y+10=26\)
We move -y to the right hand side to make it positive y and move 26 to the left side to subtract it from 10:
\(10-26=y\)
\(y=-16\)
