Solve 2(y-5/2)=0.3

$$2(y- \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } )=0.3$$

Solve for y

$$y=2.65$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$y-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}$$

Expand \frac{0.3}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$y-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{3}{20}$$

Add \frac{5}{2} to both sides.

$$y=\frac{3}{20}+\frac{5}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 20 and 2 is 20. Convert \frac{3}{20} and \frac{5}{2} to fractions with denominator 20.

$$y=\frac{3}{20}+\frac{50}{20}$$

Since \frac{3}{20} and \frac{50}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y=\frac{3+50}{20}$$

Add 3 and 50 to get 53.

$$y=\frac{53}{20}$$
