To solve the equation \( 21.71 + 4.06y = 27.8 \), follow these steps:
Isolate the term with \( y \): Subtract \( 21.71 \) from both sides:
\[ 4.06y = 27.8 - 21.71 \]
Calculate the right side:
\[ 27.8 - 21.71 = 6.09 \]
Now the equation is:
\[ 4.06y = 6.09 \]
Solve for \( y \): Divide both sides by \( 4.06 \):
\[ y = \frac{6.09}{4.06} \]
Now, calculate \( y \):
\[ y \approx 1.5 \]
So the solution is:
\[ y \approx 1.5 \]
