Answer 1

Answer:

y = -16.9

Step-by-step explanation:

→Add 0.8y to both sides:

-0.8y + 5.49 = -19.86 - 2.3y

5.49 = -19.86 - 1.5y

→Add 19.86 to both sides:

25.35 = -1.5y

→Divide both sides by -1.5:

-16.9 = y

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{y = - 16.9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= > - 0.8y + 5.49 = - 19.86 - 2.3y \\ \\ = > - 0.8y + 2.3y + 5.49 = - 19.86 \\ \\ = > 1.5y + 5.49 = - 19.86 \\ \\ = > 1.5y = - 19.86 - 5.49 \\ \\ = > 1.5y = - 25.35 \\ \\ = > y = - \frac{25.35}{1.5} \\ \\ = > y = - 16.9$
