| 4 | ( | 11 50 | − | y | ) | − | 18 | y | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | × | 11 50 | − | 4 | y | − | 18 | y |
| = | 22 25 | − | 4 | y | − | 18 | y |
| = | 22 25 | − | 22 | y |
22 25 | − | 22 | y | = | 0 |
| - | 22 | y | = | 0 | − | 22 25 |
| - | 22 | y | = | - | 22 25 |
22 25 | = | 22 | y |
| 22 | y | = | 22 25 |
| y | = | 22 25 | ÷ | 22 |
| = | 22 25 | × | 1 22 |
| = | 1 25 | × | 1 |
| y | = | 1 25 |
| y | = | 0.04 |
