Question

What is y 5(y -10)=-5

Answer 1

Answer:

y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

5(y-10)=-5

We move all terms to the left:

5(y-10)-(-5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5(y-10)+5=0

We multiply parentheses

5y-50+5=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5y-45=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

5y=45

y=45/5

y=9

Answer 2

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(y−10)=−5

(5)(y)+(5)(−10)=−5(Distribute)

5y+−50=−5

5y−50=−5

Step 2: Add 50 to both sides.

5y−50+50=−5+50

5y=45

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5y

5

=

45
