Solve. Clear decimals first.
-$1.3 y+3.4=0.6 y-1.15$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $1.3y + 3.4 = 0.6y - 1.15$, first eliminate the decimals by multiplying every term by 100 (the least common multiple of the denominators if the decimals were fractions). This gives $130y + 340 = 60y - 115$. Then, subtract $60y$ from both sides and subtract $340$ from both sides to get $70y = -455$. Finally, divide both sides by $70$ to solve for $y$, which gives $y = -6.5$.
