Question

Can someone please help me solve 10y-2y=64

Answer 1

Answer: y = 8

10y - 2y = 64

10 - 2 = 8

8y = 64

8y / 8 = 64 / 8

y = 8

VERIFY:

10(8) - 2(8) = 64

10 * 8 = 80

2 * 8 = 16

80 - 16 = 64

Answer 2

y=8

Explanation:

first you want to subtract 2y from 10y which will give you 8y and then divide both sides by 8 to get y alone and you will get y=8
