0.15(40)+0.6y=0.4(40+y)
Step 1
Multiply 0.15 by 40.
6+0.6y=0.4(40+y)
Step 2
Step 2.1
Apply the distributive property.
6+0.6y=0.4⋅40+0.4y
Step 2.2
Multiply 0.4 by 40.
6+0.6y=16+0.4y
6+0.6y=16+0.4y
Step 3
Step 3.1
Subtract 0.4y from both sides of the equation.
6+0.6y-0.4y=16
Step 3.2
Subtract 0.4y from 0.6y.
6+0.2y=16
6+0.2y=16
Step 4
Step 4.1
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.
0.2y=16-6
Step 4.2
Subtract 6 from 16.
0.2y=10
0.2y=10
Step 5
Step 5.1
Divide each term in 0.2y=10 by 0.2.
0.2y0.2=100.2
Step 5.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 5.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 0.2.
Step 5.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
0.2y0.2=100.2
Step 5.2.1.2
Divide y by 1.
y=100.2
y=100.2
y=100.2
Step 5.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 5.3.1
Divide 10 by 0.2.
y=50
y=50
y=50
