Solve 0.17y+0.05(y+7000)=1450

$$0.17 y + 0.05 ( y + 7000 ) = 1450$$

Solve for y

$$y=5000$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.05 by y+7000.

$$0.17y+0.05y+350=1450$$

Combine 0.17y and 0.05y to get 0.22y.

$$0.22y+350=1450$$

Subtract 350 from both sides.

$$0.22y=1450-350$$

Subtract 350 from 1450 to get 1100.

$$0.22y=1100$$

Divide both sides by 0.22.

$$y=\frac{1100}{0.22}$$

Expand \frac{1100}{0.22} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$y=\frac{110000}{22}$$

Divide 110000 by 22 to get 5000.

$$y=5000$$
