First, we can expand the terms on the right side of the equation:

y

10

=

2

(

x

8

)

y

10

=

(

2

×

x

)

(

2

×

8

)

y

10

=

2

x

16

Next, we can add

10

and subtract

2

x

from each side of the equation:

2

x

+

y

10

+

10

=

2

x

+

2

x

16

+

10

2

x

+

y

0

=

0

6

2

x

+

y

=

6

Now, multiply each side of the equation by

1

1

(

2

x

+

y

)

=

1

×

6

(

1

×

2

x

)

+

(

1

×

y

)

=

6

2

x

+

(

y

)

=

6

or

2

x

y

=

6
