Question

Solve the equation. Explain how you found your answer.

8y + 2y = 2y + 40

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2y from either side. It'll cancel out both of them. Then the equation is 8y = 40.

Divide both sides by 8 and you get y=5

Pretty sure that's right. I have a dad who has a math degree so I think it would be right because he helps me every time.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown first you combine like terms then you subtract 2y from both sides to get 40 by it self then you divide 8 by 40 to get y by itself hope this helps this answer is 100% correct and i was glad to help please give brainliest!

$8y+2y=2y+40\\10y=2y+40\\ -2y -2y\\8y=40\\y=5$
