Question

solve this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5y+67.8=0.5y-2.2

2.5y-0.5y=-2.2-67.8

2y=-70

y=-35

Answer 2

$\large{Answer = -35}$

$\medium{Question}$

$\bold{2.5y+67.8 = 0.5y-2.2}$

$\medium{Answer=}$

$\bold{2.5y+67.8 = 0.5y-2.2}$

$\bold{2.5y - 0.5y = -2.2 - 67.8}$

$\bold{2y = -70}$

$\bold{y = -70/2}$

$\bold{y = -35}$

$\medium{Verification =}$

$\bold{2.5y+67.8 = 0.5y-2.2}$

$\bold{2.5(-35)+67.8 = 0.5(-35)-2.2}$

$\bold{-87.5+67.8 = -17.5-2.2}$

$\bold{-19.7 = -19.7}$

$\bold{LHS=RHS}$

$\boxed{Therefore\:value\:of\:y = -35}$
