10%281-2y%29=-5%282y-1%29 Start with the given equation.


10-20y=-10y%2B5 Distribute.


-20y=-10y%2B5-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


-20y%2B10y=5-10 Add 10y to both sides.


-10y=5-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10y=-5 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-5%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate y.


y=1%2F2 Reduce.
