5y-10%2By=7y%2B18-5y Start with the given equation.


6y-10=7y%2B18-5y Combine like terms on the left side.


6y-10=2y%2B18 Combine like terms on the right side.


6y=2y%2B18%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


6y-2y=18%2B10 Subtract 2y from both sides.


4y=18%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


4y=28 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2828%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y.


y=7 Reduce.
