Question

Complete the solution of the equation. find the value of y when x equals -1. 8x - 2y= 10

Answer 1

y is equal to negative 9

Answer 2

x = -1.

Plug in the x-value.


`8(-1) - 2y = 10`

`-8 - 2y = 10`

Add 8 to both sides.


`-2y = 18`

Divide both sides by -2 to get y by itself.


`y = -9`

The value of y is -9.
