Solve 4/10y+28=0

$$\frac { 4 } { 10 } y + 28 = 0$$

Solve for y

$$y=-70$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{2}{5}y+28=0$$

Subtract 28 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$\frac{2}{5}y=-28$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{2}, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{5}.

$$y=-28\times \frac{5}{2}$$

Express -28\times \frac{5}{2} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{-28\times 5}{2}$$

Multiply -28 and 5 to get -140.

$$y=\frac{-140}{2}$$

Divide -140 by 2 to get -70.

$$y=-70$$
