Question

5.7y-5.2=y/2.5 how to solve

Answer 1

y = 0.981

Explanation:

Given expression:

• 5.7y-5.2=y/2.5

Solution:

• 5.7y-5.2=0.4y

Subtract 0.4y from both sides:

• 5.7y-5.2-0.4y=0.4y-0.4y
• 5.3y - 5.2 = 0

Add 5.2 to both sides:

• 5.3y-5.2+5.2 = 0+5.2
• 5.3y = 5.2

Divide both sides by 5.3:

• 
  `\cfrac{5.3y}{5.3} = \cfrac{5.2}{5.3}`
• 
  `y = 0.981`

Hence, y = 0.981.

Answer 2

5.7y-5.2=y/2.5

Add 5.2 to both sides:

5.7y = y/2.5 + 5.2

y/2.5 = 0.4y

5.7y = 0.4y + 5.2

Subtract 0.4y from both sides:

5.3y = 5.2

Divide both sides by 5.3:

y = 5.2/5.3

y = 0.98113
