Question

5y+2=1/2(10y+4)

Answer 1

Do you know the first step?

Answer 2

5y + 2 = 1/2(10y + 4)

Answer 3

you have to distribute :) do u follow? what do you get when you distribute the 1/2 and the terms in the parentheses?

Answer 4

*Facepalm*

First you want to multiple 1/2 by everything in the brackets by distributing.

5y + 2 = 5y + 2

Answer 5

why face palm @Compassionate ? lol

Answer 6

I asked him the first step and all he did was space the equation.

Answer 7

lol i dont kno wat im suppose to do like for reall

Answer 8

ohhh lol :) it's okay we just told you :) distribute and if u don't know, just say that you don't know ;)

Answer 9

i dont know wat to do

Answer 10

5y + 2 = 5y + 2


You want to do the opposite.

Since 5y is being added we will subtract them from each other

5y - 5y = 0

We're left with 0 + 2 = 2

2 = 2

This is true.

Answer 11

so i believe that means that there are an infinite amount of solutions... am i correct @Compassionate?? since any number you plug in for y will work because blahblahbalh will always equal blahblahblah :) teehee

Answer 12

Yes, the solutions are infinite.

Answer 13

can somebody help me please

Answer 14

I just gave you the answer...?

Answer 15

what that the answer but ask for 5y + 2 = 1/2(10y + 4)

Answer 16

cool i didn't know if i was right or not lol :) and @jeanfelix you need to read the things we write more carefully because we just told you the answer twice.. once from myself and once from @Compassionate

Answer 17

5y + 2 = 1/2(10y + 4) = Infinite number of solutions.

Answer 18

exactly, because when you solved it turned into 2=2 which means infinite solutions. :)

Answer 19

so that the answer

Answer 20

thank you boo
