Evaluate 0.3y + y/z =10 and z =5

So since z=5 you are going to substitute z in the equation with 5. So it should look like 0.3y+y/5 = 10. So in this problem I assume you are solving for y so you will divide on both sides of the equation. So 0.3y/ 0.3 cancels out and you are left with y/5=10/0.3 so 10/ 0.3 is 33.3333333333. Now you are left with y/5=33.3333333333 . Now didvide 5 on both sides. Y should equal 6.66666666667. This was tricky. Hoped that helped !!!

Answer:

The result is y=20 with z=5

Explanation:

The idea is to find the value of y with z=5. To do this, it is necessary to replace the value of z in the left part of the equation and then find the y value.

First step


0.3y+(y)/(z)=10


0.3y+(y)/(5)=10

When we replace the z value we obtain the term
(y)/(5) which equals
(1)/(5)y. Then,
1/5 equals 0.2.


0.3y+(1)/(5)y=10


0.3y+0.2y=10

Second step

We must add the terms with the y letter. They are 0.3y and 0.2y


0.5y=10

Third step

The last step is to pass the 0.5 to divide with 10. It would be:


y=(10)/(0.5)


y=20

The result is y=20 with z=5
