y/4+1/2=3/2

Question

solving equations

Answer 1

Your goal is to get 'y' on a side by itself.
The first step is to move all the numbers that don't have 'y' in them to one side.

• subtract 1/2 from both sides

y/4+1/2-1/2=3/2-1/2

y/4+0=2/2

y/4=1

The second step is to make one side equal to exactly 'y'.

• multiply both sides by 4

4(y/4)=4(1)

4y/4=4

y=4
