Question

-5y-5(-6-2y)=0 ?

what’s -5y-5(-6-2y)=0?

Answer 1

`y=-6`

Explanation:

Simplify by distributing:

`-5y+30+10y=0`

Move like terms to one side:

`-5y+10y=-30`

`=>5y=-30`

`=>y=-6`

Answer 2

-6.

Explanation:

Start by distributing negative 5 (following the order of operations - we can't simplify in the parentheses here first, so we move onto multiplication/division from left to right first).

`-5y-5(-6-2y) =0`

`= -5y+30+10y=0`

Combine like terms that contain y.

`= 5y+30=0`

Subtract thirty to the other side:
`= 5y=-30`

Finally divide by 5:
`y=-6`
