Answer:

y= - x/2 + 6

Explanation:

0.60=0.05x+0.10y

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

0.05x+0.1y=0.6

Subtract 0.05x from both sides.

0.1y=0.6−0.05x

The equation is in standard form.

0.1y=−

x

+0.6

Multiply both sides by 10.

0.1

0.1y

=

0.1

20

x

+0.6

Dividing by 0.1 undoes the multiplication by 0.1.

y=

0.1

20

x

+0.6

Divide 0.6−

20

x

by 0.1 by multiplying 0.6−

20

x

by the reciprocal of 0.1.

y=−

x

+6
