Question

Solve the equation 5y-6=10

Answer 1

5y=10+6
5y=16
Y=16 over 5

Answer 2

y = 3.2

Explanation:

Simplifying

5y + -6 = 10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 5y = 10 + 6

5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16

5y = 16

Divide each side by '5'.

y = 3.2

Simplifying

y = 3.2
