Let's walk him through!

Allrite

Answer 4

First of all, KGrace, what would happen if you subtracted 2x from both sides?

Answer 5

5y=10-2x

Answer 6

or 5y=-2x+10

Answer 7

Yes, now just divide both sides by 5

Answer 8

it's the same thing KGrace, now divide both sides by 5

Answer 9

y=-2x+10/5

Answer 10

yup but use parenthesis:
y = (-2x+10)/5

Answer 11

oh okay, you dont simplify the 10?

Answer 12

y=(-1x+2)/5?

Answer 13

NO you can't do that, -2 is not divisible by 5.

Answer 14

What u can do is:
y = (-2x/5) + (10/5) = (-2x/5)+2

Answer 15

okay thanks!
