Answer:

y=2/5

Explanation:

Using the power of inequalities, first, change the -2 to a positive by adding it to both sides of the equation. Second, get 10y and make it into a negative by subtracting it from both sides of the equation. Lastly, divide each side.

5y-2=10y-4

5y+2=10y+2

__________

5y=10y-2

-10y=-10y-2

__________

-5y=-2: Then Divide negative -5 in which your final answer should be y=2/5
