Answer: -5/2

Explanation:

4y−10∣=20

Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. ∣4y−10∣=20 Use the definition of absolute value.

4y−10=20

4y−10=−20

Add 10 to both sides of the equation. 4y=30 which then equals 4y=−10

Divide both sides by 4 to get y = 15 over 2 converted to y = negative 5 over 2

(hope this is helpful)
