Question

How do you solve: 4/10y+28=0

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -70

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{4}{10}y+28=0\qquad\text{subtract 28 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{4:2}{10:2}y=-28\\\\\dfrac{2}{5}y=-28\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{2}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}y=-140\\\\2y=-140\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\y=-70$
