Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

First, simplify both sides of the equation.

- 0.2 (14 - 6y) = - 7y - (- 5 - 9y)

- 0.2 (14 - 6y) = - 7 + - 1 (- 5 - 9y)

− 0.2 (14 − 6y) = − 7y + (− 1) (− 5) + − 1 (− 9y)

− 0.2 (14 − 6y) = − 7y + 5 + 9y

(− 0.2) (14) + (− 0.2) (− 6y) = − 7y + 5 + 9

− 2.8 + 1.2y = − 7y + 5 + 9y

1.2y − 2.8 = (− 7y + 9y) + (5)

1.2y − 2.8 = 2y + 5

1.2y − 2.8 = 2y + 5

Next, subtract 2y from both sides.

1.2y − 2.8 − 2y = 2y + 5 − 2y

− 0.8y − 2.8 = 5

After that, Add 2.8 to both sides.

− 0.8y − 2.8 + 2.8 = 5 + 2.8

− 0.8y = 7.8

Lastly, DIvide both sides by - 0.8

- 0.8y/- 0.8 = 7.8/ - 0.8

y = - 9.75
