-2(y + 5) + 6x = 4x - 8

-2y -10 + 6x = 4x - 8

-2y = 4x - 8 + 10 - 6x

-2y = -2x + 2

-2y/-2 = -2x+2/-2

Y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Take “ -2(y + 5) and distribute it so take “-2” and multiply it by “y” to get “-2y” then take “-2” and multiply it by “+5” to get “-10” and put them back into the equation to get “-2y - 10 + 6x = 4x - 8”

Step 2: Subtract “6x” from each side so your equations should look like this after “-2y - 10 = -6x + 4x - 8”

Step 3: add “10” to each side so you equating should look like this after
“-2y = -6x + 4x - 8 + 10”

Step 4: Combine like terms so add “-6x + 4x” together and you should get “-2x” then add “-8 + 10” and you should get “2” then put them into the equation
“-2y = -2x + 2”

Step 5: Divide each side by “-2” to get only one “y” left so divide “-2y/2” to get “y” and then divide “2x+2/2” to get
“x - 1” then put it back into the equation
“y = x - 1”

That’s how you get to your answer

Hope this helps :)
