Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

in this, the blank is 'y'. I filled the x with -8

)(−8)−(−8−40)=(2)(−8)−(y−8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(10)(−8)−(−8−40)=(2)(−8)−(y−8)

(10)(−8)+−1(−8−40)=(2)(−8)+−1(y−8)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

(10)(−8)+(−1)(−8)+(−1)(−40)=(2)(−8)+−1y+(−1)(−8)

(10)(−8)+8+40=(2)(−8)+−y+8

−80+8+40=−16+−y+8

(−80+8+40)=(−y)+(−16+8)(Combine Like Terms)

−32=−y+−8

−32=−y−8

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−y−8=−32

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−y−8+8=−32+8

−y=−24

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−y

−1

=

−24

−1

y=24

Answer:

y=24
