Solving with Variables on Both Sides

Question 11 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]

What is the solution to the equation 13.7y – 10.6 = 6.2y + 19.4?

Answer
A
y = 0.04
B
y = 0.4
C
y= 4
D
y = 40

Explanation

Subtract 6.2y from both sides and add 10.6 to both sides: 13.7y − 6.2y = 19.4 + 10.6. This gives 7.5y = 30, so y = 30 ÷ 7.5 = 4. The correct choice is y = 4.
