Question

Stuck on this question:
Solve 6(2y-3)-10=2y

Answer 1

Exact form: y =
`(14)/(5)`

Decimal form: y = 2.8

Explanation:

Distribute:

6(2y - 3) - 10 = 2y

12y - 18 - 10 = 2y

Subtract the numbers:

12y - 18 - 10 = 2y

12y - 28 = 2y

Add 28 to both sides:

12y - 28 = 2y

12y - 28 + 28 = 2y + 28

Simplify:

Add the numbers

12y = 2y + 28

Subtract 2y from both sides:

12y = 2y + 28

12y - 2y = 2y + 28 - 2y

Simplify:

Combine like terms

10y = 28

Divide both sides by the same factor:

10y = 28

10y/10 = 28/10

Simplify:

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

y = 14/5

Answer 2

Y= 2 4/5 or 2.8 in decimal form
