11.5 + -3y = -48
Solving for variable “y”
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add ‘-11.5’ to each side of the equation.
11.5 + -11.5 + -3y = -48 + 11.5
Combine like terms: 11.5 + -11.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3y = -48 = -11.5
-3y = -48 + -11.5
Combine like terms: -48 + 11.5 = -59.5 -3y = -59.5
Divide each side by ‘-3’
Y= 19.83333333
Simplifying
Y = 19.333....
