Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by isolating the variable and following order of operations.

8(y-5) + 2y = -10

8y - 40 + 2y = -10

10y - 40 = -10

10y = -10 + 40

10y = 30

y = 30/10

y = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(y−5)+2y=−10

(8)(y)+(8)(−5)+2y=−10(Distribute)

8y+−40+2y=−10

(8y+2y)+(−40)=−10(Combine Like Terms)

10y+−40=−10

10y−40=−10

Add 40 to both sides.

10y−40+40=−10+40

10y=30

Divide both sides by 10.

y=3
