-1.2(y-3)=-.7(y-1)

Solution for -1.2(y-3)=-.7(y-1) equation:

Simplifying
-1.2(y + -3) = -0.7(y + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-1.2(-3 + y) = -0.7(y + -1)
(-3 * -1.2 + y * -1.2) = -0.7(y + -1)
(3.6 + -1.2y) = -0.7(y + -1)

Reorder the terms:
3.6 + -1.2y = -0.7(-1 + y)
3.6 + -1.2y = (-1 * -0.7 + y * -0.7)
3.6 + -1.2y = (0.7 + -0.7y)

Solving
3.6 + -1.2y = 0.7 + -0.7y

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Add '0.7y' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -1.2y + 0.7y = 0.7 + -0.7y + 0.7y

Combine like terms: -1.2y + 0.7y = -0.5y
3.6 + -0.5y = 0.7 + -0.7y + 0.7y

Combine like terms: -0.7y + 0.7y = 0.0
3.6 + -0.5y = 0.7 + 0.0
3.6 + -0.5y = 0.7

Add '-3.6' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -3.6 + -0.5y = 0.7 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5y = 0.7 + -3.6
-0.5y = 0.7 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 0.7 + -3.6 = -2.9
-0.5y = -2.9

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
y = 5.8

Simplifying
y = 5.8
