2(2y−10)=20

1 answer

To solve the equation \(2(2y - 10) = 20\), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the \(2\) on the left side: \[ 4y - 20 = 20 \]

  2. Add \(20\) to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(y\): \[ 4y - 20 + 20 = 20 + 20 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4y = 40 \]

  3. Now, divide both sides by \(4\) to solve for \(y\): \[ y = \frac{40}{4} \] This gives: \[ y = 10 \]

The solution is \(y = 10\).
