Identify Goal: Identify the goal of the problem.We need to solve the equation for y. The equation is −0.6+0.4y=1.4.
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the term with the variable y. To do this, we will add 0.6 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term from the left side to the right side. −0.6+0.4y+0.6=1.4+0.6
Perform Addition: Perform the addition on both sides of the equation. 0.4y=2.0
Divide by Coefficient: Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of y, which is 0.4, to solve for y.0.40.4y=0.42.0
