Question

1.8 -0.4y = 2(1.1 - Y)

Answer 1

y=0.25

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1.8−0.4y=2(1.1−y)

1.8+−0.4y=(2)(1.1)+(2)(−y)(Distribute)

1.8+−0.4y=2.2+−2y

−0.4y+1.8=−2y+2.2

Step 2: Add 2y to both sides.

−0.4y+1.8+2y=−2y+2.2+2y

1.6y+1.8=2.2

Step 3: Subtract 1.8 from both sides.

1.6y+1.8−1.8=2.2−1.8

1.6y=0.4

Step 4: Divide both sides by 1.6.

1.6y/1.6 = 0.4/1.6
