Explanation:

open the bracket

6={(1/5×4y) + 1/5×10}

6=4/5y+2

6-2=4/5y

4=4/5y

divide both sides by 4/5

y=1/5

The answer you are looking for is y=5.

Solution/Explanation:

Writing out the problem,

6=1/5(4y+10)

Using the Distributive Property,

6=4/5y+2

Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation,

6-2=4/5y

4=4/5y

Multiplying both sides by 5, to transform the fraction into a whole number,

20=4y

Finally, dividing both sides by 4,

So, therefore the final answer is y=5.
