Question

Complete the solution of the equation. find the value of y when x equals -1. 8x - 2y= 10

Answer 1

Y is equal to negative 9

Answer 2

X = -1.

Plug in the x-value.

$8(-1) - 2y = 10$
$-8 - 2y = 10$

Add 8 to both sides.

$-2y = 18$

Divide both sides by -2 to get y by itself.

$y = -9$

The value of y is -9.
