Question

-2( y + 5) = -6 need help find y

Answer 1

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(y + 5) = -6

expand the parenthesis:

-2×y -2 × +5 = -6

Multiplication of opposite signs give negative number.

-2y - 10 = -6

add 10 to both sides:

-2y - 10 + 10 = -6 + 10

-2y + 0 = 4

-2y = 4

divide both sides by -2:

-2y/-2 = 4/-2

y = -2
