Solve for y -2y-3y+8=8-5y-12

$- 2 y - 3 y + 8 = 8 - 5 y - 12$

Step 1

Subtract $3 y$ from $- 2 y$ .

$- 5 y + 8 = 8 - 5 y - 12$

Step 2

Subtract $12$ from $8$ .

$- 5 y + 8 = - 5 y - 4$

Step 3

Move all terms containing $y$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $5 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 5 y + 8 + 5 y = - 4$

Combine the opposite terms in $- 5 y + 8 + 5 y$ .

Add $- 5 y$ and $5 y$ .

$0 + 8 = - 4$

Add $0$ and $8$ .

$8 = - 4$

Step 4

Since $8 \neq - 4$ , there are no solutions.

No solution
