Question

$$15y-10=5y-20$$

Solve for y

$y=-1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5y$ from both sides.

$$15y-10-5y=-20$$

Combine $15y$ and $-5y$ to get $10y$.

$$10y-10=-20$$

Add $10$ to both sides.

$$10y=-20+10$$

Add $-20$ and $10$ to get $-10$.

$$10y=-10$$

Divide both sides by $10$.

$$y=\frac{-10}{10}$$

Divide $-10$ by $10$ to get $-1$.

$$y=-1$$
