Solve (2^2-2)(-5)+(2-5)y=2(2+2)

$$( 2 ^ { 2 } - 2 ) ( - 5 ) + ( 2 - 5 ) y = 2 ( 2 + 2 )$$

Solve for y

$$y=-6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$\left(4-2\right)\left(-5\right)+\left(2-5\right)y=2\left(2+2\right)$$

Subtract 2 from 4 to get 2.

$$2\left(-5\right)+\left(2-5\right)y=2\left(2+2\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -5 to get -10.

$$-10+\left(2-5\right)y=2\left(2+2\right)$$

Subtract 5 from 2 to get -3.

$$-10-3y=2\left(2+2\right)$$

Add 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$-10-3y=2\times 4$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$-10-3y=8$$

Add 10 to both sides.

$$-3y=8+10$$

Add 8 and 10 to get 18.

$$-3y=18$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$y=\frac{18}{-3}$$

Divide 18 by -3 to get -6.

$$y=-6$$
