Question

5y-3.5=10 how to solve this

Answer 1

Simplifying
5y + -3.5 = 10

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 5y = 10

Solving
-3.5 + 5y = 10

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + 3.5 + 5y = 10 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5y = 10 + 3.5
5y = 10 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 10 + 3.5 = 13.5
5y = 13.5

Divide each side by '5'.
y = 2.7

Simplifying
y = 2.7

Answer 2

5y=10+3.5
5y=13.5
Y=13.5/5
Y=2.5
