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

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

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):
