Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The algebraic expression is 11y+y8y511y + \frac{-y -8y}{-5} . We are asked to evaluate this expression at y=5y = -5

STEP 2

First, simplify the expression inside the fraction.
2y8y=10y-2y -8y = -10ySo, the expression becomes11y+10y511y + \frac{-10y}{-5}

STEP 3

Next, simplify the fraction by dividing 10y-10y by 5-5.
10y5=2y\frac{-10y}{-5} =2ySo, the expression becomes11y+2y11y +2y

STEP 4

Now, simplify the expression by combining like terms.
11y+2y=13y11y +2y =13y

STEP 5

Now that we have simplified the expression, we can substitute y=5y = -5 into the expression.
13y=13(5)13y =13(-5)

STEP 6

Finally, calculate the value of the expression.
13(5)=6513(-5) = -65So, when y=5y = -5, the value of the expression is 65-65.
