Question

Solve for Y showing all steps
-10+2=5y-1

Answer 1

-2x+2=5y-1
add 1 to both sides
-2x+3=5y
divide y from both sides
-2/5x+3/5=y

Answer 2

Sorry I mean divide 5 from both sides*

Answer 3

Okay, thank you. Now, what if x was 5, how would I solve for y?

Answer 4

Are you still confused with this question?

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

\[-10+2=5y-1 \]

Do like terms first

-10 + 2 = ?

Answer 7

If x was 5, you would solve for y by just plugging in 5 for x and doing the same steps I did before

Answer 8

I don't see an x in the original equation...are we doing a different one than -10+2=5y-1 ?
