Question

0.42 - 0.03y = 3.33 - y

I don't know how to do this correctly.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

it's
\[-1y+0.03y\]
so you are subtracting -1 from 0.03
\[-(1-0.03)y\]

Answer 4

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