0.2(2y+4)=6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 0.2.
\n" ); document.write( "(0.2(2y+4))/(0.2)=(6)/(0.2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cancel the common factor of 0.2.
\n" ); document.write( "2y+4=(6)/(0.2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide 6 by 0.2 to get 30.
\n" ); document.write( "2y+4=30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "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.
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-4+30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 30 to -4 to get 26.
\n" ); document.write( "2y=26\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "(2y)/(2)=(26)/(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
\n" ); document.write( "y=(26)/(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
\n" ); document.write( "y=13 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
