To simplify the equation (6(2-2y)=5(2y-2)), you would first distribute the numbers outside the parentheses:

(6(2-2y)=12-12y) (5(2y-2)=10y-10)

Then, set the two expressions equal to each other:

(12-12y=10y-10)

Next, rearrange the terms to isolate the variables on one side of the equation:

(12+10=10y+12y)

Combine like terms:

(22=22y)

Finally, solve for (y):

(y=\frac{22}{22}) (y=1)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
