For this case, we must simplify the following equation:


6x-7y = 2 (x + 10y)

We apply distributive property to the terms of the parenthesis on the right side of the equation:


6x-7y = 2x + 20y

We subtract "2x" on both sides of the equation:


6x-2x-7y = 2x-2x + 20y\\4x-7y = 20y

We add "7y" to both sides of the equation:


4x-7y + 7y = 20y + 7y\\4x = 27y

We clear one of the variables:


y = \frac {4x} {27}

Answer:


y = \frac {4x} {27}
