Question 178296


{{{-(6y+2)-(-5y-5)=-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6y-2+5y+5=-5}}} Distribute.



{{{-y+3=-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-y=-5-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{-y=-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(-8)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=8}}} Reduce.
