Solve y/441+y=0.98

$$\frac { y } { 441 + y } = 0.98$$

Solve for y

$$y=21609$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable y cannot be equal to -441 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y+441.

$$y=0.98\left(y+441\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.98 by y+441.

$$y=0.98y+432.18$$

Subtract 0.98y from both sides.

$$y-0.98y=432.18$$

Combine y and -0.98y to get 0.02y.

$$0.02y=432.18$$

Divide both sides by 0.02.

$$y=\frac{432.18}{0.02}$$

Expand \frac{432.18}{0.02} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$y=\frac{43218}{2}$$

Divide 43218 by 2 to get 21609.

$$y=21609$$
