Question

Sole the equation. check your solution 2.5 y + 6=4.5y-1 ​

Answer 1

3.5 = y

Explanation:

2.5y + 6 = 4.5y - 1

2.5y + 7 = 4.5y

7 = 2y

3.5 = y

Check:

2.5y + 6 = 4.5y - 1

2.5(3.5) + 6 = 4.5(3.5) - 1

2.5(3.5) + 7 = 4.5(3.5)

8.75 + 7 = 15.75

15.75 = 15.75

Answer 2

`y=3.5`

Explanation:

`2.5y+6=4.5y-1`

Start by subtracting
`6` from both sides of the equation:

`2.5y=4.5y-7`

Subtract
`4.5y` from both sides of the equation:

`-2y=-7`

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of
`y`, which is
`-2`:

`y=3.5`

_

Check your solution by substituting the solved value of
`y` (
`3.5`) into the initial equation:

`2.5(3.5)+6=4.5(3.5)-1`

`8.75+6=15.75-1`

`14.75=14.75`

Since both sides of the equation are equal to each other, our solution is correct!
