answer: [tex]y = -7.5[/tex]
explanation:
[tex]-140 = 18+4 (5y-2)[/tex] | distribute the 4 into the parentheses
[tex]-140 = 18 + 20y - 8[/tex] | add 18 and -8, because their like terms
[tex]-140 = 10 + 20y[/tex] | add -10 and move it over to -140
[tex]-150 = 20y[/tex] | divide by 20
[tex]-7.5 = y[/tex] | final answer
