Answer: In the end, she has $5400 in total, so she must gain $400 on her investment.

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is 0.08 >>> add 1 to it = 1.08

5000*1.08 = 5400

or the other way to do this is 5000*0.08 = 400 and then 5000+400=5400

Hope this helps!

Please help solve -2|5y-1|=-10

Alright, so we can start by dividing -2 from both sides, getting |5y-1|=20. Then, since 5y-1 is in an absolute value, 5y-1 is either 20 or -20.
In 5y-1=20, we can add one to both sides, getting 5y=21 and y=21/5. In
5y-1=-20, we can add one again, getting 5y=-19 and y=-19/5.

If you have any more equations, make sure to plug both numbers in to check, but otherwise y has two answers , which are -19/5 and 21/5.
