[tex]-1.2= y\div2.4 -1.7[/tex]
Solve for y
[tex]{\huge{\boxed{\sf{Answer\:with\:explanation }}}[/tex]
let's put our equation first
[tex]-1.2= y\div2.4 -1.7[/tex]
Flip the equation
[tex]y\div2.4-1.7=-1.2[/tex]
Now follow the rule of [tex]BOMDAS/PEMDAS[/tex]

[tex]y\div2.4-1.7=-1.2[/tex]
[tex]{\underline{simplify}}[/tex]
[tex]0.416667y-1.7=-1.2[/tex]
add [tex]1.7[/tex] to both sides
[tex]0.416667y=0.5[/tex]
Divide both sides by [tex]0.416667[/tex]
[tex]y=1.2[/tex]
[tex]{\huge{\boxed{\sf{Answer}}}[/tex]
[tex]y[/tex] would equal [tex]1.2[/tex]
