0.1 + -0.2y = -0.375(0.17 + y)
0.1 + -0.2y = (0.17 * -0.375 + y * -0.375)
0.1 + -0.2y = (-0.06375 + -0.375y)

Solving
0.1 + -0.2y = -0.06375 + -0.375y

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Add '0.375y' to each side of the equation.
0.1 + -0.2y + 0.375y = -0.06375 + -0.375y + 0.375y

Combine like terms: -0.2y + 0.375y = 0.175y
0.1 + 0.175y = -0.06375 + -0.375y + 0.375y

Combine like terms: -0.375y + 0.375y = 0.000
0.1 + 0.175y = -0.06375 + 0.000
0.1 + 0.175y = -0.06375

Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation.
0.1 + -0.1 + 0.175y = -0.06375 + -0.1

Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.175y = -0.06375 + -0.1
0.175y = -0.06375 + -0.1

Combine like terms: -0.06375 + -0.1 = -0.16375
0.175y = -0.16375

Divide each side by '0.175'.
y = -0.9357142857

Simplifying
