Addition to isolate y: Now, we want to isolate the y term by getting rid of the constant on the same side as y. We can do this by adding 10 to both sides of the equation.10+10=−10+10+2yThis simplifies to:20=2y
Division to solve for y: To solve for y, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 2. 220=22yThis simplifies to:10=y
