139 50 | y | ÷ | ( | 1400 | + | y | ) | = | 1 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1400 | + | y | ) |
139 50 | y | = | 1 20 | ( | 1400 | + | y | ) |
139 50 | y | = | 1 20 | × | 1400 | + | 1 20 | y |
139 50 | y | = | 70 | + | 1 20 | y |
139 50 | y | − | 1 20 | y | = | 70 |
273 100 | y | = | 70 |
| y | = | 70 | ÷ | 273 100 |
| = | 70 | × | 100 273 |
| = | 10 | × | 100 39 |
| y | = | 1000 39 |
| y | = | 25.641026 |
