Do you understand how to do it though?

anonymous · Answer

add  Add two point nine to both sides is what i was thinking but i was not sure

yttrium · Answer

well, you are actually correct @iceicebaby

anonymous · Answer

This would be your equation: y-2.9=5.3

You would need to flip the equation

y=2.9+5.3

Then add 5.3 to both sides

Huh? You actually did adding 2.9 to both sides. That's why it became y = 2.9 + 5.3 :) @GeckoBro
