Solve for y 5y+1.8=4y-3.2

$5 y + 1.8 = 4 y - 3.2$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $y$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $4 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$5 y + 1.8 - 4 y = - 3.2$

Subtract $4 y$ from $5 y$ .

$y + 1.8 = - 3.2$

Step 2

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

Subtract $1.8$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - 3.2 - 1.8$

Subtract $1.8$ from $- 3.2$ .

$y = - 5$
