Answer:

y=-8.5

Explanation:

You need to start by combining like terms.

So you would add -0.3y to both sides. Next you will subtract 21.3 from both sides. You should now have 5.4y=-45.9. At this point you will divide both sides by 5.4 giving you your answer of -8.5

5.1y + 21.3 = -o.3y - 24.6

+o.3y +0.3y

5.4y + 21.3 = -24.6

-21.3 -21.3

5.4y = -45.9

÷5.4 ÷5.4

y = -8.5
