0.6(2y-6)-5y=-0.4(3y-4)

Solution for 0.6(2y-6)-5y=-0.4(3y-4) equation:

Simplifying
0.6(2y + -6) + -5y = -0.4(3y + -4)

Reorder the terms:
0.6(-6 + 2y) + -5y = -0.4(3y + -4)
(-6 * 0.6 + 2y * 0.6) + -5y = -0.4(3y + -4)
(-3.6 + 1.2y) + -5y = -0.4(3y + -4)

Combine like terms: 1.2y + -5y = -3.8y
-3.6 + -3.8y = -0.4(3y + -4)

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + -3.8y = -0.4(-4 + 3y)
-3.6 + -3.8y = (-4 * -0.4 + 3y * -0.4)
-3.6 + -3.8y = (1.6 + -1.2y)

Solving
-3.6 + -3.8y = 1.6 + -1.2y

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Add '1.2y' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + -3.8y + 1.2y = 1.6 + -1.2y + 1.2y

Combine like terms: -3.8y + 1.2y = -2.6y
-3.6 + -2.6y = 1.6 + -1.2y + 1.2y

Combine like terms: -1.2y + 1.2y = 0.0
-3.6 + -2.6y = 1.6 + 0.0
-3.6 + -2.6y = 1.6

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + 3.6 + -2.6y = 1.6 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -2.6y = 1.6 + 3.6
-2.6y = 1.6 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 3.6 = 5.2
-2.6y = 5.2

Divide each side by '-2.6'.
y = -2

Simplifying
y = -2
