Question

Help me.. -4.7 = 3y + 1.3

Answer 1

@Roxy.girl wht would be the first step ??

Answer 2

So you add negative 3y right.. @Qwertty123

Answer 3

Yes XD

Answer 4

no need to u see u can ecen start by adding -1.3 on both sides @Roxy.girl

Answer 5

Reorder the terms:
-4.7 = 1.3 + 3y

Solving
-4.7 = 1.3 + 3y

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

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
-4.7 + -3y = 1.3 + 3y + -3y

Answer 6

it would be like
- 6 = 3y
and then u know wht to do

Answer 7

huh?

Answer 8

@Roxy.girl see it wont really make any difference tht u move the variable on right side....

Answer 9

Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
-4.7 + -3y = 1.3 + 0
-4.7 + -3y = 1.3
Then:
Add '4.7' to each side of the equation.
-4.7 + 4.7 + -3y = 1.3 + 4.7

Answer 10

like
-4.7 = 3y + 3
-6 = 3y
-2 = y
see no difference :)) @Roxy.girl

Answer 11

I am getting confused lol

Answer 12

Now you would divide by negative 3? Right? @Qwertty123

Answer 13

Then Combine like terms: -4.7 + 4.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -3y = 1.3 + 4.7
-3y = 1.3 + 4.7

Combine like terms: 1.3 + 4.7 = 6
-3y = 6

Divide each side by '-3'. so yes your correct! :3

Answer 14

@Roxy.girl the only difference is tht ur first step was subtracting -3y on both sides
so I told tht its not a necessary step ...u can proceed without tht step

Answer 15

oh lol okay

Answer 16

So it equals -2. @Qwertty123

Answer 17

y = -2 yes :)

Answer 18

Answer 19
