Answer:

y = 13.9

Explanation:

It is given that

–5.7 + y = 8.2. -----(1)

Equation (1) is a linear equation in one variable.

LHS consists of a constant and a variable term

RHS consists of only constant term

Find the value of y

Solving the equation

-5.7 + y = 8.2

moving -5.7 to the RHS

y = 8.2 + 5.7

y = 13.9

Therefore the value of y = 13.9

-5.7 + y = 8.2
