Question

5(y + 1) = 10 Submit Answer

Answer 1

Upon distribution, we will find that:

5(y + 1) = 10 → 5y + 5 = 10

Now to subtract 5 on both sides:

5y + 5 = 10 → 5y = 5

Finally, we can divide by the coefficient:

5y = 5 → y = 1

Therefore, y = 1.

Answer 2

`\begin{gathered} 5(y+1)=10 \\ y+1=(10)/(5)=2 \\ y=2-1=1 \end{gathered}`
