4y = 2 (y - 5) - 2 what is the answer? plz answer you will get 26 points.

Answer 1

`y=-6`

Explanation:

`4y=2(y-5)-2`

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -5:-

• 
  `4x=2y-10-2`

Subtract 2 from -10 to get -12:-

• 
  `4y=2y-12`

Subtract 2y from both sides:-

• 
  `4y-2=-12`

Divide both sides by 2:-

• 
  `y=-6`

Answer 2

y = -6

Explanation:

4y = 2 (y - 5) - 2

Distribute

4y = 2y-10-2

Combine like terms

4y = 2y-12

Subtract 2y from each side

4y-2y =2y-12-2y

2y =-12

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -12/2

y = -6
