Answer:

y = -4.37

Explanation:

0.15(y - 0.2) = 2 - 0.5(1 - y)

distribute 0.15 into (y - 0.2) & distribute -0.5 to (1 - y)

0.15y - 0.03 = 2 - 0.5 + 0.5y

combine like terms on each side

0.15y - 0.03 = 1.5 + 0.5y

bring all y values to left side, all other numbers to right side

-0.35y = 1.53

solve for y, divide both sides by -0.35

y = -4.3714...

about -4.37
