Kaitlyn solved the equation 5y=15 and found answer to be y=75. In complete sentence or two, explain what kaitylns error was? What did she do wrong? What is correct answer? Show your work and explain reasoning

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of dividing, Kaitlyn multiplied both sides by 5. Divide both sides by 5 to get the y by itself and you get 3

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
