what is the solution to the linear equation? 2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14\no y = -10\no y = -1\no y = 1\no y = 10

Answer:

D. $y = 10$

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms on the left - hand side

$2.8y+0.2y + 6=5y - 14$ $(2.8 + 0.2)y+6=5y - 14$ $3y+6=5y - 14$

Step2: Move the terms with $y$ to one side

$3y-5y=-14 - 6$

Step3: Simplify both sides

$-2y=-20$

Step4: Solve for $y$

$y=\frac{-20}{-2}$ $y = 10$
