[|] Answer [|]


\boxed{Y \ = \ -9}

[|] Explanation [|]

2x - 2y = 22

X = 2

Rewrite Equation:

2 * 2 - 2y = 22

====================

Multiply Numbers: 2 * 2 = 4

4 - 2y = 22

Subtract 4 From Both Sides:

4 - 2y - 4 = 22 - 4

Simplify:

-2y = 18

Divide Both Sides By -2:


(-2y)/(-2) = (18)/(-2)

Simplify:

Y = -9

Answer:

y=-9

Explanation:

If x equals 2, then we can substitute that into the equation, resulting in the equation 2*2-2y=22

We can solve for multiplication first:

4-2y=22

Then we can subtract four on both sides, canceling out the four on the left side:

-2y=18

Now to isolate y, we divide both sides by -2, resulting in the solution:

y=-9

Hope this helps!
