16.22 divided by 2 = your answer. (8.11)
See the attached image for solution:
Step-by-step explanation:
20x+5=24x-1
4x=6
x=3/2
Add 4y to both sides of the equation:
x=4y-22
Now replace x in the equation:
(4y-22)-4y=-22
Distribute the negative sign:
-4y+22-4y=-22
Add common terms:
-8y+22=-22
Add 8y to both sides of the equation:
8y-22=22
Add 22 to both sides of the equation:
8y=44
Divide both sides by 8:
y=5.5
