What is the value of y in the equation 5x + 2y = 20, when x = 0.3?

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5(0.3) + 2y = 20

| 5(0.3) + 2y = 20

| Multiply 5 and 0.3 to get 1.5

\/

1.5 + 2y = 20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We subtract 1.5 from both sides.

2y = 20 - 1.5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Subtract 1.5 from 20 to get 18.5.

2y = 18.5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Divide both sides by 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expand = 9.25 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
