You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0.2(2y+4)=6
Divide each term in the equation by 0.2.
(0.2(2y+4))/(0.2)=(6)/(0.2)
Cancel the common factor of 0.2.
2y+4=(6)/(0.2)
Divide 6 by 0.2 to get 30.
2y+4=30
Since 4 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides.
2y=-4+30
Add 30 to -4 to get 26.
2y=26
Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2y)/(2)=(26)/(2)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=(26)/(2)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=13
