y=19/5
5y - 3 ( + 3) = 16 ( + 3) [Add 3 to both sides]
5y + 0 = 19
5y /5 = 19/5 [Divide both sides by 5]
Check your work...

solve equations by doing the opposite
5y - 3 = 16 the opposite of -3 is +3
5y - 3 + 3 = 16 + 3 so
5y = 19 the opposite of is divide by 5
5y/5 = 19/5
y = 19/5

5y - 3 =16
5y - 3 + 3 = 16 + 3
5y = 19
5y / 5 = 19 / 5
y = 3 4/5

add 3 to 16, the equation will be like this..
5y = 19
then divide 19 by 5.. but the answer is not whole number as it is 19/5 or 3 4/5..

5y - 3= 16
+3 +3 Add three to each side, to get rid of the 3
5y/5 = 19/5 Divide, each side by 5, to make it just y
y = 19/5

5y-3=16
add 3 both sides
5y-3+3=16+3
5y=19
divide both sides by 5
5y/5=19/5
y=19/5

First: combine "like" terms - add 3 to both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
5y - 3+3 = 16+3
5y = 16+3
5y = 19
SEc: solve for "y" by isolating it on one side - divide both sides by 5.
5y/5 = 19/5
y = 19/5

5y - 3 = 16 < ----original equation
5y = 19 <----- add 3 to both sides
y = 19/5 <----- divide both sides by 5
final answer is y= 19/5
divide it out if u want the answer in a decimal
