8y+10=y
Combine 3y and 5y to get 8y.
8y+10-y=0
Subtract y from both sides.
7y+10=0
Combine 8y and -y to get 7y.
7y=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-10}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
y=-\frac{10}{7}
Fraction \frac{-10}{7} can be rewritten as -\frac{10}{7} by extracting the negative sign.
