Answer: y=−1

Explanation:

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

2(y−1)+6y=−10

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by y−1.

2y−2+6y=−10

Combine 2y and 6y to get 8y.

8y−2=−10

Add 2 to both sides.

8y=−10+2

Add −10 and 2 to get −8.

8y=−8

Divide both sides by 8.

y=8−8​

Divide −8 by 8 to get −1.

y=−1
