4y-5=(6-2)y-25
I come up with 0
Can anyone help?
impossible equation. NO solution
thank you, I kept telling my dad that there had to be something wrong with the problem, but I wanted to check with someone here.
I found the same answer as you and Lynnette. There is no solution to this problem.
thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 4y - 5 = (6 - 2)y - 25, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable y.
Let's go through the steps:
Step 1: Distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
4y - 5 = 6y - 2y - 25
Step 2: Combine like terms:
4y - 5 = 4y - 25
Step 3: Move all terms containing y to one side by subtracting 4y from both sides:
4y - 4y - 5 = 4y - 4y - 25
-5 = -25
Step 4: Since -5 is not equal to -25, the equation has no solution.
Therefore, there is no value for y that satisfies the equation.
