Question

Solve for yy.
5, point, 6, equals, start fraction, y, divided by, 0, point, 1, end fraction, plus, 0, point, 6
5.6=
0.1
y
​
+0.6

Answer 1

To solve for \( y \) in the equation

\[
5.6 = \frac{y}{0.1} + 0.6,
\]

we can follow these steps:

1. **Isolate the fraction**: Start by subtracting \( 0.6 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[
5.6 - 0.6 = \frac{y}{0.1}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5.0 = \frac{y}{0.1}.
\]

2. **Multiply both sides by \( 0.1 \)**: To solve for \( y \), multiply both sides of the equation by \( 0.1 \):

\[
5.0 \times 0.1 = y.
\]

This gives:

\[
0.5 = y.
\]

Therefore, the solution is

\[
y = 0.5.
\]
