An easy way to do this would be to multiply everything by 10
10(5.4y+8.2=9.8y-2.8)
This would get you
A good thing to do would be to get the variables and the numerals separate.
You could add 28 to each side canceling out the 28 on the right side.

Then, you could subtract 54y from both sides canceling out the 54y on the left side.

Simplify:

You could divide each side by 11:

You could then divide each side by 4 to get the variable by itself:
This would mean:y = 2.5 OR 5/2
