Respuesta :

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

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.

[tex]5(2-y)=10-5y[/tex]

[tex]10-5y+y=-6[/tex]

Then you add by the similar elements.

[tex]-5y+y=-4y[/tex]

[tex]10-4y=-6[/tex]

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

[tex]10-4y-10=-6-10[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]-4y=-16[/tex]

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

[tex]\frac{-4y}{-4}= \frac{-16}{-4}[/tex]

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

[tex]16/4=4[/tex]

Final answer: → [tex]y=4[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
