6%282-2y%29=5%282y-2%29 Start with the given equation.


12-12y=10y-10 Distribute.


-12y=10y-10-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-12y-10y=-10-12 Subtract 10y from both sides.


-22y=-10-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


-22y=-22 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-22%29%2F%28-22%29 Divide both sides by -22 to isolate y.


y=1 Reduce.
