Question

what is the solution to the linear equation? 2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14 y = -10 y = -1 y = 1 y = 10

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms on left side

$(2.8y + 0.2y)+6=5y - 14$
$3y+6 = 5y-14$

Step2: Move variable terms to one side

$3y-5y=-14 - 6$

Step3: Simplify both sides

$-2y=-20$

Step4: Solve for y

$y=\frac{-20}{-2}$
$y = 10$

Answer:

D. $y = 10$
