Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

Simplifying

2y + -1.7 = 3.3

Reorder the terms:

-1.7 + 2y = 3.3

Solving

-1.7 + 2y = 3.3

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.

-1.7 + 1.7 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7

Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0

0.0 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7

2y = 3.3 + 1.7

Combine like terms: 3.3 + 1.7 = 5

2y = 5

Divide each side by '2'.

y = 2.5

Simplifying

y = 2.5
