OK CAN YOU JUST SOLVE THE PROBLEM LOL

:(

johnweldon1993 · Answer

see how this cancels out the y's on that right side??

no I wont just solve the problem.....it's only a couple steps....

add y to both sides

5y - 2 = 28 - y
+y               +y

6y - 2 = 28

add 2 to both sides here

6y = 30

what does y =?

So, where does the 6 come from?

johnweldon1993 · Answer

when you add y....to 5y.....you get 6y.....1y + 5y = 6y right?

$$5y-2=28-y$$add $y$ to both sides (Addition Property of Equality):$$5y\color{blue}{+y}-2=28-y\color{blue}{+y}$$$$6y-2=28$$add $2$ to both sides (Addition Property of Equality):$$6y-2\color{blue}{+2}=28\color{blue}{+2}$$$$6y=30$$divide both sides by $6$ (Division Property of Equality):$${6y\over\color{blue}{6}}={30\over\color{blue}{6}}$$$$y=5$$
