To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
We can do this by moving -2x to the other side of the equation.
Starting with: -2x - y = 10
Add 2x to both sides of the equation:
-2x + 2x - y = 10 + 2x
Simplifying:
0 - y = 2x + 10
-y = 2x + 10
To isolate y, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1:
(-1)(-y) = (-1)(2x + 10)
Simplifying:
y = -2x - 10
Therefore, the solution for y is y = -2x - 10.
Solve for Y
-2x - y = 10
