y+1.2=0.8(y+2)

Solution for y+1.2=0.8(y+2) equation:

Simplifying
y + 1.2 = 0.8(y + 2)

Reorder the terms:
1.2 + y = 0.8(y + 2)

Reorder the terms:
1.2 + y = 0.8(2 + y)
1.2 + y = (2 * 0.8 + y * 0.8)
1.2 + y = (1.6 + 0.8y)

Solving
1.2 + y = 1.6 + 0.8y

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Add '-0.8y' to each side of the equation.
1.2 + y + -0.8y = 1.6 + 0.8y + -0.8y

Combine like terms: y + -0.8y = 0.2y
1.2 + 0.2y = 1.6 + 0.8y + -0.8y

Combine like terms: 0.8y + -0.8y = 0.0
1.2 + 0.2y = 1.6 + 0.0
1.2 + 0.2y = 1.6

Add '-1.2' to each side of the equation.
1.2 + -1.2 + 0.2y = 1.6 + -1.2

Combine like terms: 1.2 + -1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.2y = 1.6 + -1.2
0.2y = 1.6 + -1.2

Combine like terms: 1.6 + -1.2 = 0.4
0.2y = 0.4

Divide each side by '0.2'.
y = 2

Simplifying
y = 2
