Answer: [tex]y = -2.59[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2.875y + 9 = 1.55[/tex]
Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation , that is
[tex]2.875y + 9 - 9 = 1.55 - 9[/tex]
[tex]2.875y = -7.45[/tex]
Divide through by [tex]2.875[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2.875y}{2.875}= \frac{-7.45}{2.875}[/tex]
[tex]y = -2.59[/tex]
