Question

mmmmmaaaatthhhhh

Answer 1

Assuming that the period of your first three word statement got shifted rightward, the task is to solve 45 = 2y+4.

 

Start by subtracting 4 from each side of the equation.

Continue by dividing each side by two; this gives y = an improper fraction.

Simplify by converting to a mixed number.

Answer 2

45=2y+4  is equivalent to 2y+4=45

 

Subtract 4 from each side of the equation:  2y=41 

Divide each side by 2: y=41/2   

Final answer is y=20 1/2
