Solve 0.4(y+10+0.6y)=2

$$0.4 ( y + 10 + 0.6 y ) = 2$$

Solve for y

$$y=-3.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 0.4.

$$y+10+0.6y=\frac{2}{0.4}$$

Expand \frac{2}{0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$y+10+0.6y=\frac{20}{4}$$

Divide 20 by 4 to get 5.

$$y+10+0.6y=5$$

Combine y and 0.6y to get 1.6y.

$$1.6y+10=5$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$1.6y=5-10$$

Subtract 10 from 5 to get -5.

$$1.6y=-5$$

Divide both sides by 1.6.

$$y=\frac{-5}{1.6}$$

Expand \frac{-5}{1.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$y=\frac{-50}{16}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-50}{16} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$y=-\frac{25}{8}$$
