Answer:

x= y-10a/10

Explanation:

Multiply 10 by x+a using the distributive property. 10x+10a=y

Subtract 10a from both sides. 10x=y-10a

Divide both sides by 10. 10x/10 = y-10a/10.

Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10. x=y-10a/10

Divide y-10a by 10.

I hope this helps and I'm sorry if I got this wrong. I tried my best. Thanks for the question :)
