Solve 4.375+2*(-1.25)=2*(-10y)

$$4.375+2 \times (-1.25)=2 \times (-10y)$$

Solve for y

$$y=-0.09375$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 2 and -1.25 to get -2.5.

$$4.375-2.5=2\left(-10\right)y$$

Subtract 2.5 from 4.375 to get 1.875.

$$1.875=2\left(-10\right)y$$

Multiply 2 and -10 to get -20.

$$1.875=-20y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-20y=1.875$$

Divide both sides by -20.

$$y=\frac{1.875}{-20}$$

Expand \frac{1.875}{-20} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$y=\frac{1875}{-20000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{1875}{-20000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 625.

$$y=-\frac{3}{32}$$
