10%28y-1%29=y%2B4 Start with the given equation.


10y-10=y%2B4 Distribute.


10y=y%2B4%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


10y-y=4%2B10 Subtract y from both sides.


9y=4%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


9y=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%2814%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate y.

Answer:

So the solution is y=14%2F9
