−1.8

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-16.8 = -0.1y - 1.8\), we can start by isolating the term that contains \(y\).

  1. Add 1.8 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ -16.8 + 1.8 = -0.1y \]

    \[ -15 = -0.1y \]

  2. Divide both sides by -0.1 to solve for \(y\):

    \[ y = \frac{-15}{-0.1} \]

    \[ y = 150 \]

So the solution to the equation is \(y = 150\).
