Answer:


y = 1.6

Explanation:


3y = 4.8

Use inverse operations to solve this problem. Inverse operations is a method of solving a linear (and in some cases quadratic) equation. This method has one do the same operations to both sides such that it cancels out the operations done to the variable, and hence, it leaves one with the solution.

In this case, all one has to do is divide both sides by the coefficient of the varibale (y).
