Question

3.8-1.5y+(4.5y+0.8)=2.4y+3

Answer 1

3.8 - 1.5y + 4.5y + 0.8 = 2.4y + 0.3 (*10)
38 - 15y + 45y +8 = 24y + 3
-15y +45 y - 24y = 3-38 +8
6y = -27
y = -27/6
y = -4.5

Answer 2

To solve the equation for the variable "y," follow these steps:

Given equation: 3.8 - 1.5y + (4.5y + 0.8) = 2.4y + 3

Step 1: Distribute the terms inside the parentheses: 3.8 - 1.5y + 4.5y + 0.8 = 2.4y + 3

Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: (4.5y - 1.5y) + (3.8 + 0.8) = 2.4y + 3 3y + 4.6 = 2.4y + 3

Step 3: Subtract 2.4y from both sides of the equation to isolate the "y" terms on one side: 3y + 4.6 - 2.4y = 3 0.6y + 4.6 = 3

Step 4: Subtract 4.6 from both sides of the equation: 0.6y = -1.6

Step 5: Divide both sides by 0.6 to solve for "y": y = -1.6 / 0.6 y = -2.67 (approximately)

So, the solution for the equation is y ≈ -2.67.
