Question

Solve the equation 40 = -10(y+0.3). what does the y equal​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

40 = -10(y + 0.3) {Step 1: Use the distributive property to multiply -10 by y + 0.3}

40 = -10y + -10(0.3)

40 = -10y - 3 {Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.}

40 + 3 = -10y

43 = -10y {Step 3: Divide both sides by -10}

43/-10 = y

-4.3 = y

y equals -4.3.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

40 = -10(y + 0.3)

40 = -10y - 3

-3. -3

43 = -10y

Divide 43 by -10

y equal 4.3
