5.107+0.010y=0.35y+5.112

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isolate your y variable from the rest of the equation by adding and subtracting to each side. Do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at first i subtracted 5.017

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.010y=0.35y+5.112-5.107

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=.010y=.35y+.005

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember you want to isolate the y variable to one side of the equality. right now you have y on both sides which is not good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would subtract the 0.35y from 0.010y also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.010-.35y = .005

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that equals -.34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.34y=.005 now you want to lastly get the coefficient of y to be 1 so it will read y = answer.... to do this you must...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both by the -.34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it comes out to be -.0147058824

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many numbers would you include in the answer just the -.0147?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can since i believe it's an estimate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i check it it doesn't equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i checked it now it does thank you!
