Question

What is 8y + 10 − 4 − 5y equal to?

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

8y+10-4+5y

10+ -4 + 8y + -5y =0

10+ -4=0

6+8y + -5=0

8y + -5y= 3y

6+3y=0

6+ 3y =0

then add -6 at the end of the equation

6+-6+3y=0+-6

continue term

6+-3+3y=0+-6

3y = 0 + -6

combine term

0+3y=0+ -6

3y = 0 +-6

divide each side by 3

and you get -2

Answer 2
