Question

4y-1.7=11.1
solve for y

Answer 1

Answer: y= 3.2

Explanation:

The first step to solving 4y-1.7=11.1 is to add 1.7 to -1.7 and 11.1.

-1.7+1.7=0

11.1+1.7=12.8.

The second and final step to solving 4y-1.7=11.1 is to divide 12.8 and 4y.

12.8/4= 3.2

Therefore, y=3.2

Answer 2

y = 3.2

Explanation:

4y - 1.7 = 11.1 ( add 1.7 to both sides )

4y = 11.1 + 1.7 = 12.8 ( isolate y by dividing both sides by 4 )

y = 3.2
