#y=-62.5#

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction, multiply all terms on both sides of the equation by 5.

#(5xx-1.2)=cancel(5)^1xxy/cancel(5)^1+(5xx11.3)#

#rArr-6=y+56.5#

subtract 56.5 from both sides.

#-6-56.5=ycancel(+56.5)cancel(-56.5)#

#rArry=-62.5" is the solution"#

Check : #(-62.5)/5+11.3=-12.5+11.3=-1.2color(white)(xx)✔︎#
