Question

Solve the Equation. 5(2−y)+y=−6 y=?

Answer 1

Distribute the 5(2-y).
You get:
$10 - 5y + y = - 6$
Add like terms.
$10 - 4y = - 6$
Get the variable by itself. In this case, subtract ten from both sides.
$- 4y = - 16$
To get the variable alone, divide by -4.
You get:
$y = 4$

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

y=4

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, expand form.

$5(2-y)=10-5y$

$10-5y+y=-6$

Then you add by the similar elements.

$-5y+y=-4y$

$10-4y=-6$

Next, you subtract by 10 from both sides of an equation.

$10-4y-10=-6-10$

Simplify.

$-4y=-16$

You can also divide by -4 from both sides of an equation.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}= \frac{-16}{-4}$

And finally, you simplify and solve. Then you divide by the numbers.

$16/4=4$

Final answer: → $y=4$

Hope this helps!
