@texaschic101 help again please

no...
.03y + 1 = 4.3
you want to get the y term on one side by itself and everything else on the other side
.03y + 1 = 4.3 -- subtract 1 from both sides
.03y + 1 - 1 = 4.3 - 1 -- combine like terms
.03y = 3.3 -- now you have to divide by .03 to get y by itself
.03y/.03 = 3.3/.03
y = 110
