Question

Solve for y in the following problem: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y)

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of y = 5.1478

Explanation:

The linear equation is an equation obtained when a linear polynomial is equated to zero. When the solution obtained on solving the equation is substituted in the equation in place of the unknown, the equation gets satisfied.

The given equation: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y) = 0

⇒ 53 - 2y² = 0

⇒ 2y² = 53

⇒ y² = 53 ÷ 2 = 26.5

⇒ y = √26.5 = 5.1478
