To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable y.
First, we will add 10 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -10 term on the left side:
-2y - 10 + 10 = 6 + 10
-2y = 16
Next, we will divide by -2 to solve for y:
y = 16 / -2
y = -8
Therefore, the solution to the equation -2y - 10 = 6 is y = -8.
Solve the following linear equation.
−2y−10=6
