Answer: mg they left u hanging for some time here hol up,

y=−25

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    y/5-2-(-7)=0

y/5          

(y/5 -  2) -  -7  = 0  

Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

       

   2 =  2/1=2.5/5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

y - (2.5/5 5)=y - 10

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 y+25

 ———— • 5 = 0 • 5

  5  

Now, on the left hand side, the  5  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  y+25  = 0

4.2      Solve  :    y+25 = 0  

Subtract  25  from both sides of the equation :  

                     y = -25

Is -6.7 equal to -6 7/10
den301095 [7]
Yes, -6.7 is equal to -6 and 7/10. We know that in -6.7, 7 is in the tenths place. So you would have -6 7/10. You can also divide 7 by 10. 7 divided by 10 equals .7. So -6.7 is equal to -6 7/10. I hope that I could help! It is a lot easier than it first sounds!
