Question

Find the value of y.

Answer 1

For this, since 4y - 7 and 2y - 1 are congruent, we can solve for y by setting them equal to each other.

$4y-7=2y-1$

Firstly, subtract 2y on both sides of the equation. $2y-7=-1$

Next, add 7 on both sides of the equation. $2y=6$

Finally, divide 2 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be y = 3
