Question

4y=2(y−5)−2

y = ___
(type your answer as a number, "no solution" or "infinite solutions")

Answer 1

The answer is
`y=-6`

Explanation:

The given equation is
`4y=2(y-5)-2`

Multiplying
`y-5` by 2, we get,

`4y=2y-10-2`

Subtracting
`2y` from both sides of the equation, we get,

`2y=-12`

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get,

`y=-6`

Thus, the value of y is
`y=-6`
