Question

Solve equation 0.6 (y+3) = 4.8

Answer 1

0.6(y + 3) = 4.8

Reorder the terms:
0.6(3 + y) = 4.8
(3 * 0.6 + y * 0.6) = 4.8
(1.8 + 0.6y) = 4.8

Solving
1.8 + 0.6y = 4.8

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.8' to each side of the equation.
1.8 + -1.8 + 0.6y = 4.8 + -1.8

Combine like terms: 1.8 + -1.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.6y = 4.8 + -1.8
0.6y = 4.8 + -1.8

Combine like terms: 4.8 + -1.8 = 3
0.6y = 3

Divide each side by '0.6'.
y = 5

Simplifying
y = 5
