What does it mean to solve an equation
1.4y = 3.5

y =2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4y = 3.5

Divide each side by 1.4 to isolate y

1.4y /1.4 = 3.5/1.4

y =2.5

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4 y=3.5

y=3.5/1.4

y=2.5

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
