Answer 1

3.4y-(3y)=.4y-5.2
0.4y-5.2(+5.2)=2(+5.2)
(/0.4)0.4y=7.4(/0.4)
y=18.5

Answer 2

I messed up, The real answer is 18

Answer 3

3.4y-(3y)=.4y-5.2
0.4y-5.2(+5.2)=2(+5.2)
(/0.4)0.4y=7.2(/0.4)
y=18

Answer 4

3.4y - 5.2 - 3y = 2
First combine like terms on left side:
0.4y - 5.2 = 2
Now add 5.2 to both sides:
0.4y = 7.2
Lastly, divide both sides by 0.4:
y = 18
