Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.
1.8 + 5y + -4y = -3.2 + 4y + -4y
Combine like terms: 5y + -4y = 1y
1.8 + 1y = -3.2 + 4y + -4y
Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0
1.8 + 1y = -3.2 + 0
1.8 + 1y = -3.2
Add '-1.8' to each side of the equation.
1.8 + -1.8 + 1y = -3.2 + -1.8
Combine like terms: 1.8 + -1.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 1y = -3.2 + -1.8
1y = -3.2 + -1.8
Combine like terms: -3.2 + -1.8 = -5
1y = -5
Divide each side by '1'.
y = -5
Simplifying
y = -5
