First, distribute 0.6 across the parentheses: $0.6 \times 20 - 0.6y = 42$. This simplifies to $12 - 0.6y = 42$. Subtract 12 from both sides to get $-0.6y = 30$. Finally, divide both sides by -0.6 to solve for y, yielding $y = -50$.

Solve the Equation - 0.6(20−y)=420.6(20-\mathrm{y})=420.6(20−y)=42 A) 50 B) -60 C) 60 D) -50
