Question

1. Find the value of y in the equation 10-8y =26

(A) y = -2
(B) y = 4
10 - 8y = 26
(C) y = -8

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

given the equation

10 - 8y = 26 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

10 - 10 - 8y = 26 - 10 ( simplify both sides )

- 8y = 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

`(-8)/(-8)` y =
`(16)/(-8)` , that is

y = - 2
