5y-6=10y%2B24 Start with the given equation.


5y=10y%2B24%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


5y-10y=24%2B6 Subtract 10y from both sides.


-5y=24%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5y=30 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2830%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y.


y=-6 Reduce.
