Question

Which statement is true about the solutions for the equation 5y + 8 = −2?

It has no solution.
It has one solution.
It has two solutions.
It has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 1

5y=-10

Y=-2 it has one solution

Answer 2

5y + 8 = -2
add -8 to both sides
5y + 8 - 8 = -2 - 8
5y + 0 = -10
5y = -10
x = -10/5 = -2

one solution
