Question

(2y+1.6)/0.8=30/2.5 Please Help! Solve for Y

Answer 1

Hey there!!

We have:

... (2y+1.6)/0.8 = 30/2.5

... (2y+1.6)/0.8 = 12

Multiplying 0.8 on both sides.

... (2y+1.6) = 12×0.8

... 2y+1.6 = 9.6

Subtracting 1.6 on both sides:

... 2y = 9.6-1.6

... 2y = 8

Dividing by 2 on both sides:

... y = 8/2

... y = 4

Hence, the required answer is 4.

Hope my answer helps

Answer 2

y = 4

first note that the right side simplifies to 12, equation can be written

$\frac{2y+1.6}{0.8}$ = 12 ( multiply both sides by 0.8 )

2y + 1.6 = 9.6 ( subtract 1.6 from both sides )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4
