Answer 2

Answer:

y = 0.976804

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

34(20y - 8) + 5 = 12y + 14(20y + 8)

Step 2: Distribute parenthesis

680y - 272 + 5 = 12y + 280y + 112

Step 3: Combine like terms

680y - 267 = 292y + 112

Step 4: Subtract 292y on both sides

388y - 267 = 112

Step 5: Add 267 on both sides

388y = 379

Step 6: Divide both sides by 388

y = 379/388

y = 0.976804
