y=4
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for y
200 + 20y = 400 - 30y
Group variables
Group our variables 20y and -30y
add 30y to both sides
20y + 200 + 30y = -30y + 400 + 30y
Cancel -30y on the right side:
50y + 200 = 400
Divide each side by 200
| 200y | |
| 200 |
| = |
| 20 |
| 200 |
Group constants
Group our constants 200 and 400.
subtract 200 from both sides
50y + 200 - 200 = 400 - 200
Cancel 200 on the left side:
50y = 200
Divide each side of the equation by 50
| 50y | |
| 50 |
| = |
| 200 |
| 50 |
y = 4
