Answer:

y = 10

Explanation:

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14

______________________

Group like terms

2.8y+0.2y+6=5y-14

_______________________

Add similar

3y+6=5y-14

_______________________

Subtract 6 from both sides

3y+6-6=5y-14-6

________________________

Simplify

3y=5y-20

________________________

Subtract 5y from both sides

3y-5y=5y-20-5y

________________________

Simplify

-2y=-20

________________________

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 =-20/-2

________________________

Simplify

y = 10
