Given the equation:

5y + 10 = 6x + 6

Solve for y.

Solution:

In order to solve for y, we simply need to transpose 10 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

5y + 10 = 6x + 6

5y = 6x + 6 - 10

5y = 6x - 4

Divide both sides by 5 in order to determine the value of y.

5y/5 = (6x - 4)/5

y = 6/5x - 4/5

Final answer:

y = 6/5x - 4/5
