Solving Linear Equations: Variables on Both Sides — Quiz

Question 8 • *KCPS Algebra I (2027)

What is the solution to the linear equation? 2 point 8 y plus 6 plus 0 point 2 y is equal to 5 y minus 14

Answer
A
y is equal to 10
B
y is equal to negative 10
C
y is equal to negative 1
D
y is equal to 1

Explanation

Combine the like terms on the left: 2.8y + 0.2y = 3y, so the equation becomes 3y + 6 = 5y − 14. Add 14 to both sides and subtract 3y from both sides to get 20 = 2y. Divide by 2, giving y = 10, so the correct choice is “y is equal to 10.”
