Solve for y 1.5=y-(-5.6)

$1.5 = y - (- 5.6)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $y - (- 5.6) = 1.5$ .

$y - (- 5.6) = 1.5$

Step 2

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 5.6$ .

$y + 5.6 = 1.5$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $5.6$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 1.5 - 5.6$

Subtract $5.6$ from $1.5$ .

$y = - 4.1$
