Step 1.1.1

Move $0.18$ to the left of $y$ .

$0.18 \cdot y + (1 - y) \cdot 0.055 = 0.17$

Step 1.1.2

Apply the distributive property.

$0.18 y + 1 \cdot 0.055 - y \cdot 0.055 = 0.17$

Step 1.1.3

Multiply $0.055$ by $1$ .

$0.18 y + 0.055 - y \cdot 0.055 = 0.17$

Step 1.1.4

Multiply $0.055$ by $- 1$ .

$0.18 y + 0.055 - 0.055 y = 0.17$

Step 1.2

Subtract $0.055 y$ from $0.18 y$ .

$0.125 y + 0.055 = 0.17$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.
