what is the steps of 4y=2 (y-5)-2

Verified Answer :

Simplify 2y - 10 - 2 to 2y - 10 :
4y=2y−12

Than subtract 2y from sides:
4y − 2y = −12

Simplify 4y−2y to 2y
2y = −12


Divide both sides by 2
\(- \frac{12}{2}\) simplify it to 6



y = −6 should be your final answer

  1. Use the distributive property on 2(y-5)

    4y = 2(y-5)-2  --> 4y = 2y - 10 -2

    2. Add the like terms together

    4y = 2y - 10 - 2 --> 4y = 2y - 12

    3. Use the Subtraction Property of Equality

    4y = 2y - 12 --> 2y = -12
    4. Use the Division Property of Equality
    2y = -12/2       /2
    y= -6
    Hope this helps!!! :D
