Answer: y = 0.4
Step-by-step explanation: Using the distributive property, first by distributing the numbers outside the bracket to the ones inside.
( - 3 * 2 ) (- 3 *-0.4y) +5.6 = (0.4*3y) (0.4*1)
- 6 + 1.2y + 5.6 = 1.2y + 0.4
Next step is to collect like terms :
(- 6 + 5.6) +1.2y = 1.2y +0.4
- 0.4 +1.2y =1.2y +0.4
Next step is to get rid of of the 0.4 :
- 0.4 +1.2y =1.2y +0.4
+0.4 +0.4
= 1.2y=1.2y+0.4
=1.2y-1.2y=0.4
y=0.4.
