So you need to solve this right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
First you need to get rid of your y variables.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There can only be one variable on a side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Your variables are -2y and 3y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To get rid of your variables, use the reciprocal of the lowest number.

So in this case, -2 is the lowest one.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So add 2 on both sides b/c the reciprocal(opposite) of -2 is 2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which you get 8=5y-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actually.
OpenStudy (mariebrittany07):
okay can you please show me how to do it because i never done algebra 1 before

Isolate your variables with mean adding 2 on both sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8-2y=3y-2
+ 2 +2
-----------
8 = 5y - 2
+2 +2
----------
10 = 5y
/5 /5
----------
2 = y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry. :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Your answer is 10=5y which y = 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
8-2y=3y-2
+ 2 +2
-----------
8 = 5y - 2
+2 +2
----------
10 = 5y
/5 /5
----------
2 = y
Do you get how to do it? :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=-10
OpenStudy (mariebrittany07):
