Question

Solve for y: -2(5y-1)-y=-4(y-3)

Answer 1

`y = - (10)/(7)`

Explanation:

- 2(5y - 1) - y = - 4(y - 3)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

-10y + 2 - y = - 4y + 12

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

That's

- 10y - y + 4y = 12 - 2

- 7y = 10

Divide both sides by - 7

We have the final answer as

`y = - (10)/(7)`

Hope this helps you
