Given the equation:

0.7 + y = -1.34

Solve for y.

Solution:

In order to easily solve for y, we simply needed to transpose 0.7 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

0.7 + y = -1.34

 y = -1.34 - 0.7

 y = -1.34 - 0.7

y = -2.04

Final answer:

y = -2.04
