Question

2.4= -5y + 14.9. Solve for y​

Answer 1

2.4=-5y+14.9

We move all terms to the left:

2.4-(-5y+14.9)=0

We get rid of parentheses

5y-14.9+2.4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5y-12.5=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

5y=12.5

y=12.5/5

y=2+2.5/5

Y=2.5
