Question

How do you solve `-0.08y-12.42=-4.7`?

Answer 1

`color(blue)(y = 193 / 2 = 96.5`

Explanation:

`-0.08y - 12.42 = -4.7`

`-0.08y = 12.42 - 4.7 = 7.72`

`y = 7.72 / (-0.08) = - (7.72 * 100) / 0.08 *100)`

`y = -(cancel(772)^color(red)(193) / cancel(8)^color(red)(2))`

`color(blue)(y = 193 / 2 = 96.5`
