Question

Which is a solution to the equation StartAbsoluteValue 10 minus 5 y EndAbsoluteValue = 20?

y = 2
y = 4
y = 6
y = 10

Answer 1

x=the circumference of absolute end triangularitizeationing particle matter

Answer 2

Answer is y=6 (option C).

Explanation:

|10 - 5y| = 20

First equation is just as written for first solution:

10 - 5y = 20

Subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate the 10.

-5y = 10

divide both sides by -5 to eliminate the -5 and isolate the y.

y = -2

Distribute negative sign through equation for a second solution.

|10 - 5y| = 20

-(10 - 5y) = 20

-10 + 5y = 20

Add 10 to both sides to eliminate the 10.

5y = 30

divide both sides by 5 to eliminate the 5 and isolate the y.

y = 6

y = 6 is the only answer listed in the 4 options.
