8 (y-5) + 2y=-10

i will give you brainliest

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by isolating the variable and following order of operations.

8 (y-5) + 2y = - 10

8y - 40 + 2y = - 10

10y - 40 = - 10

10y = - 10 + 40

10y = 30

y = 30/10

y = 3

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

8 (y-5) + 2y=-10

(8) (y) + (8) (-5) + 2y=-10 (Distribute)

8y+-40+2y=-10

(8y+2y) + (-40) = -10 (Combine Like Terms)

10y+-40=-10

10y-40=-10

Add 40 to both sides.

10y-40+40=-10+40

10y=30

Divide both sides by 10.

y=3
