Question

How can I solve
2y=4-3y

Answer 1

y = 0.8

Explanation:

You must rewrite the equation so that the y variables are all on one side of the =, and the numbers are on the other. To do this, you must add 3y to 2y (because it is originally -3y, and you have to do the opposite, meaning you add rather than subtract):

5y = 4

Next, to remove 5 from the equation, since 5y means they are multiplied together, you must do the opposite, so divide each side by 5:

5y ÷ 5 = y

4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

Therefore, y = 0.8

Answer 2

Add 3y to both sides then divide both sides by 5.

`2y=4-3y\implies 5y=4\implies y=(4)/(5)`

Hope this helps.
