Solve d=5(2-y)

$$d = 5 ( 2 - y )$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{d}{5}+2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2-y.

$$d=10-5y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$10-5y=d$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$-5y=d-10$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{d-10}{-5}$$

Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.

$$y=\frac{d-10}{-5}$$

Divide d-10 by -5.

$$y=-\frac{d}{5}+2$$

Solve for d

$$d=10-5y$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2-y.

$$d=10-5y$$
