Question

Solve the equation
-5(y+0.2)=25

Answer 1

y = -5.2

Explanation:

Simplify this equation by dividing both sides by -5. We get:

y + 0.2 = -5. Subtracting 0.2 from both sides: y = -5.2

Answer 2

y = -5.2

Explanation:

To solve this problem use inverse operations,

-5 ( y + 0.2 ) = 25

/-5 /-5

y + 0.2 = -5

-0.2 -0.2

y = -5.2
