nubeer · Answer

just take the the terms with "y" on one side and the terms without y put it on the other side of equal and do the algebra

anonymous · Answer

If I add 0.03y to both sides canceling out the left. What happens to the y on the right? is it now 0.04y? is it 1.03y?

ash2326 · Answer

it's 
$$-1y+0.03y$$
so you are subtracting -1 from 0.03
$$-(1-0.03)y$$

nubeer · Answer

no .. add 0.03 on right side.
-y + 0 .03 y =?
