What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y<br> What is 2x(y+5)=2.5y
White raven [17]

Answer:

simplify: 2.5 =(y+5)

reorder the terms: 2.5y=(5+y)

remove the parenthesis: 2.5y=5+y

solving: 2.5y=5+y

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

add -1y to each side of the equation

2.5y+-1y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms 2.5y+-1y=1.5y

1.5y=5+y+-1y

combine like terms: y+-1y=0

1.5y=5+0

1.5y=5

divide each side by 1.5

y=3.333333333

simplifying

y=3.333333333
