Question

0.7(1.5+ y) = 3.5y - 1.47
Solve

Answer 1

y = 0.9

C, the third one

Explanation:

Examine this multistep equation with variables on both sides.

0.7(1.5 + y) = 3.5y - 1.47

Which of the following is the solution to this equation?

y = 0.09

y = 0.17

y = 0.9

y = 1.7

Answer 2

y = .9

Explanation:

0.7(1.5+ y) = 3.5y - 1.47

Distribute

1.05 +.7y = 3.5y -1.47

Subtract .7y from each side

1.05 +.7y.-.7y = 3.5y-.7y -1.47

1.05 =2.8y -1.47

Add 1.47 to each side

1.05+1.47 = 2.8y

2.52 = 2.8y

Divide by 2.8

2.52/2.8 = y

.9 = y
