Question

How do you solve -5y-5(-6-2y)=0?

Answer 1

`y=-6`

Explanation:

Distribute the bracket, collect terms in y on the left side of the equation and numeric values on the right side.

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

simplify left side by collecting like terms.

`rArr5y+30=0`

subtract 30 from both sides.

`5ycancel(+30)cancel(-30)=0-30`

`rArr5y=-30`

To solve for y, divide both sides by 5

`(cancel(5) y)/cancel(5)=(-30)/5`

`rArry=-6" is the solution"`
