Answer: -2 PLEASE GIVE BRAINLIEST
Step-by-step explanation:
Subbing 8 for x
-5(-8)-5y=50
Simplifying
40 + -5y = 50
Solving
40 + -5y = 50
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-40' to each side of the equation.
40 + -40 + -5y = 50 + -40
Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0
0 + -5y = 50 + -40
-5y = 50 + -40
Combine like terms: 50 + -40 = 10
-5y = 10
Divide each side by '-5'.
y = -2
Simplifying
y = -2
