Hello! In this question, we will be solving the given equation for the variable "y".

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

In our question, we were given the following equation:

  • 0.3(6y + 15) = 1.8y + 4.5

To solve for our "y" variable, we will perform distributive property and simplify to get the value of "y".

__________________________________________________________

Solve:


0.3(6y + 15) = 1.8y + 4.5\\\\\text{Use the distributive property to distribute the

Proof:


\text{To prove that there are infinite solutions, we could continue to solve the}\\\text{equation:}\\\\1.8y+4.5 =1.8y+4.5 \\\\\text{Subtract 1.8y from both sides}\\\\4.5=4.5\\\\\text{Subtract 4.5 from both sides}\\\\0=0

Answer:


\boxed{\text{Infinite solutions}}
