Answer:
y= 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5y + 7 = 5( 0.2 + 1.5y )
Get rid of the brackets first
0.5y + 7 = 1 + 7.5y
Move the like terms
0.5y + 7 - 7.5y = 1
0.5y - 7.5y = 1 - 7
Collect the like terms
-7y = -6
Divide both sides by -7 to get y on its own
y= -6/-7
A negative number divided by a negative number gives a positive number so
y = 6/7
