Find a common multiplier then divide ex. 21/27 = 7/9
11.424242
isolate the repeating part
11+0.424242
focus on the repeating part
0.42424242
how many places till it repeats again?
2
let's say it is x
x=0.42424242
multiply by 100
100x=42.424242
subtract them
100x-x=42.42424242-0.42424242
the infinite repeats cancel and we get
99x=42
divide by 99

so
Answer:
y = -1.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and =
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, add 4y and subtract 14 from both sides:
1y (+4y) + 14 (-14) = -4y (+4y) + 9 (-14)
1y + 4y = 9 - 14
Combine like terms:
5y = -5
Isolate the variable, y. Divide 5 from both sides:
(5y)/5 = (-5)/5
y = -5/5
y = -1
y = -1 is your answer.
