Question

Solve 10y + 7 – 4y = -5+ 6y + 22.

Answer 1

0 = 10

Explanation:

10y + 7 - 4y = - 5 + 6y + 22

Combine -4y and 10y, then subtract 6y from the right side and subtract it from 10y after it becomes 6y

0 + 7 = -5 + 22

Subtract 7 from both sides and combine 22 and -5

0 = 10

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

10y + 7 - 4y = -5 + 6y + 22

Step 2: Solve for y

1. Combine like terms: 6y + 7 = 6y + 17
2. Step 2: Subtract 7 on both sides: 6y = 6y + 10
3. Subtract 6y on both sides: 0 ≠ 10

Here, we see that y would have no solutions.
