Question

How do you solve 8.4-6.8=-3.2y+16.4

Answer 1

Answer:

y=4.625

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

  y = 4.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 16.4 from both sides and collect terms.

  8.4 -6.8 -16.4 = -3.2y +16.4 -16.4

  -14.8 = -3.2y

Divide both sides by -3.2.

  -14.8/-3.2 = (-3.2y)/-3.2

  4.625 = y

The solution is y = 4.625.
