Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5*y-3*(2-y)-(10)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (5y -  3 • (2 - y)) -  10  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   8y - 16  =   8 • (y - 2) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  8 • (y - 2)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    8   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    y-2 = 0 

 Add  2  to both sides of the equation : 
                      y = 2
