Question

Make an equation that has the numbers : -3.78 , -1.2y, and -4.2y

Answer 1

Answer: In solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first you need to arrange the numbers in anyway, separated by operations. I just did:

-3.78 + (-1.2y + -4.2y)

We then need to come up with the other side of the equation.

For this, I added the like terms:

-3.78 + (-1.2y + -4.2y) = -3.78 -5.4y

Then, I came up with a value for y. Y = 5

Then, I multiplied -5.4 by 5, getting -27 so,

-3.78 + (-1.2y + -4.2y) = -3.78 - 27

Again, I collected like terms:

-3.78 + (-1.2y + -4.2y) = -30.78

Now, I have my equation.

HOW TO SOLVE THE EQUATION

-3.78 + (-1.2y + -4.2y) = -30.78

1. Add 3.78 to both sides

-1.2y + -4.2y = -27

2. Collect like terms

-5.4y = -27

3. Divide both side by -5.4

y = 5

Answer 2

Answer:-

-3.75 + -1.2y = -4.2y

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer would then be that y= 1.26 when solved
