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
