Question

0.5=0.4y−0.25x

Solve for y
Answer

Answer 1

The value of the equation is
`y=(5)/(4)+(5x)/(8)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`0.5=0.4y-0.25x`

We need to solve the provided equation for y.

Add 0.25x both side.

`0.5+0.25x=0.4y-0.25x+0.25x`

`0.5+0.25x=0.4y`

`0.4y=0.5+0.25x`

Divide both sides by 0.4.

`(0.4y)/(0.4)=(0.5+0.25x)/(0.4)`

`y=(0.5)/(0.4)+(0.25x)/(0.4)`

`y=(5)/(4)+(25x)/(40)`

`y=(5)/(4)+(5x)/(8)`

Hence, the value of the equation is
`y=(5)/(4)+(5x)/(8)`.
