Answer:
5 ( y + 2) = 6 ( y - 1)
- distribute the number outside into the parenthesis by multiplying it with each value
5y + 10 = 6y - 6
- subtract like terms, in this case 5y and 6y
-y + 10 = -6
- isolate the variable ( y) by getting rid of 10 by subtracting it to both sides
-y = -16
-1y = -16
- isolate variable (y) by getting rid of the -1 next to it by dividing it to both sides
y = -16 / -1
y = 16
